Did you miss the Scholarly Legal Research training last week? Have no fear–the Law Library is offering another on Tuesday, as well as several other trainings later this month and next! See below for descriptions of these events and instructions for registering:
Scholarly Legal Research
This workshop is designed to cover best practices related to scholarly legal research, based on the needs and interests of the attending students. We may discuss choosing a topic, conducting preemption checks, or utilizing advanced research methods, with a particular focus on identifying specialty sources. Other possible topics are the structure of academic articles, citation management tools, subject-specific resources, or the role of AI in academic research. Registrants will be given a survey before the session so that some individualized recommendations may be given and will be expected to actively work on a research project during the session.
This workshop will be held in person, at 2:00pm on October 20. Register here.

Are you a researcher seeking to hone your legal research skills? Or an RA supporting legal research? Whether you are working on a research project, a paper or something more, if it involves legal research, do join us as we learn how to use library resources effectively in the legal research process!
This session will be held virtually on October 21 at 1:15pm. Register here.
