Legal
Research Class Notes
We’re
going to tour the library!
I
forgot the legal research books & stuff!
Three
different tours! Sign up for one!
Legal
research is a different animal!
Get
to know and love your Blue Book! For the
assignments and tests, you need to know how to “Blue Book”. Do the assignments correctly or else!
The
answers to all our citation questions are in the Blue Book.
You
might want to get a Nutshell! Legal Research in a Nutshell. It’s also available in the library. Everything we need to know will be given out
in class. But the Nutshell gives you
extra stuff.
Also,
there’s The Process of Legal Research.
There
will be oral quizzes. We’ll get called
on in class. One at a
time. It’s not Socraticish.
Westlaw
& Lexis training! We’ve been
assigned to a Lexis and Westlaw group.
The assignments are posted on the main floor of the library, around the
corner of the computer lab between the two bathrooms. We’ll take those classes the next door down
in the computer training lab.
We’ll
have five assignments.
The
Structure of Legal Research
“Don’t
take notes on this.” OKAY!
