This fall, the Law Library will be hosting a series of fall research seminars focused on helping law students prepare for their supervised analytical writing (SAW) assignment by demonstrating the emerging technologies in the field of legal research. Students will learn about helpful (and not so helpful) legal databases, how to search for information and how maintain legal research records. Lecturers will showcase subscription based as well as open source tools for legal research. These seminars are open to the whole law school community. The first event is:
