An exercise in frustrating librarians

This week I had an individual research session at the law library ... and I'm amused?/bemused?/frustrated? that two librarians concluded that my area is going to be tricky to research. This was confirmed by a third librarian last night at database training! Yay - 2nd week and I'm already facing a brick wall - or is that a gap in knowledge?
I'm endeavouring to find the basis for the reliance on spoken word evidence from a philosophical perspective, rather than a procedural one (i.e. it provides the opportunity for cross-examination, intimidation and spontaneity).
May have to resort to blending Socrates, Plato, Derrida and others myself ...
