This is one of my goals of the year - to better myself at doing online research. I wish to be able to get more precise (?) results for what I am searching. Idk if I'm making myself clear here but I'd greatly appreciate any tips that you may have for me. Thanks in advance!

Edit: As pointed out in responses so far, my issue lies in not knowing how to properly ask the internet the question which I want answered. It's mostly a discussion about precise legal point that I seek in a judgement or academic article.

Wikipedia is a better source than people give credit. Start there, then dig into the sources at the bottom of the Wikipedia page.

Always Google about the reputability of the website you're reading on. It will tell you whether or not you're wasting your time.

Research articles aren't hard to read, but the abstract and conclusion will tell you most of what you want to know, so you can easily save time by checking those.
