Since Nexis Uni is full-text, in addition to using quotes around a phase and the * for truncation, use the following search strategies to bring your word/s close together to retrieve relevant articles
Using - and - between words - will usually end up with a large number of results and many will not be relevant.
Topic:
Should the plurality or concurring opinion in Rapanos v US case be controlling law in wetland cases such as Sackett v EPA?
Best to:
1. limit words to the same sentence or paragraph
/s for sentence
rapanos /s wetland* /s sackett
rapanos /s wetland* /s sackett /s opinion /s (plurality or concurring)
/p for paragraph
rapanos /p wetland* /p sackett /p opinion /p (plurality or concurring )
2. limit words to the headline and lead paragraphs using - hlead - in this search strategy you can use - and -
hlead(rapanos and wetland* and sackett and opinion and (plurality or concurring))
There are many ways to search, you will need to experiment and look at the results.
Keep track of the search strategies you use.
