Course Description

This course will take a very pragmatic approach to research. Students will learn the most effective and efficient methods for locating legal and other information typically sought by practicing attorneys, including fact research, business research, marketing and client development tools as well as legal research. The emphasis will be on locating information as quickly and cheaply as possible using whatever print, Internet, database or Lexis/Westlaw resource is most applicable to the information. Several guest lecturers including local practitioners and law firm librarians will be providing real-world research examples and solutions.
