PREFACE
This fifth edition reflects the changes that have occurred during
the last two years. The guide's purpose remains the same: to
assist both the legally trained person and the lay person in
conducting legal research in Montana and to provide rudimentary
knowledge so that the reader will have a foundation from which to
begin researching the law.
As with the first four editions, thank yous are gratefully extended
to two fellow employees of the State Law Library: Judith
Meadows, State Law Librarian, for her guidance, assistance, and
encouragement, and Birgit Stipich for her word processing skills.
