The fish tank on L1 will be dismantled for some work over the long weekend. It will be re-assembled sometime next week.

***UPDATE*** 9/23/2009
The arrival of the new fish tank has been delayed. We are expecting it to be set up again in a few weeks.

If you are a 1L and were either unable to attend a Lexis/Westlaw training session this month, or if you do not have one scheduled for your small group and are still interested in learning about these databases, please attend this session on Friday, September 25th from 11:00 AM-12:00 PM in Room 128.  At this joint research session, the Lexis and Westlaw representatives will collaborate to teach students how to find a database, customizing tabs, finding by citation, downloading/printing/emailing results, research trails, and where to find additional help.

Sign up now for a First Year CaseMap session scheduled next week.  All sessions will take place in the Computer Classroom in the Law Library.  You will receive 400 points for attending and we will raffle off a $50.00 Starbuck’s card at the end of each session.  Sign up via the Yale Myschool at www.lexisnexis.com/lawschool.

CaseMap provides a central repository for all the critical information in a case, allowing you to easily organize the key facts, characters, issues, evidence, and legal authorities. CaseMap's linking feature makes it simple to evaluate relationships and draw critical connections between different components of your case: for example, identifying the facts and case law to support a claim or issue.  CaseMap also allows the user to send quotes directly from Lexis to your CaseMap file.  The authority name and citation info will automatically export to your EXTRACTS spreadsheet along with your quote and accompanying details. Your AUTHORITIES list will automatically be populated with the name, jurisdiction and citation info as well.  A link to the case will also appear in both spreadsheets.
