LAWS 537 - Legal Research

Credits: 1

During the introductory course in Legal Research, students receive instruction in the basic sources and research techniques of American law. Emphasis will be placed upon the development of an effective and efficient research strategy for locating and updating state and federal cases, statutes, regulatory materials, and major forms of secondary legal resources. Students will examine and use resources in both print and online formats. While some attention will be paid, of necessity, to the details of each source, the course will focus upon the use of these sources within the context of efficient and cost-effective legal research.
