Our librarians and staff are committed to assisting you in all aspects of legal research. Librarians can help you find print or online materials or help you with your legal research project. In the required Legal Practice Skills course, students work with the librarians in learning the techniques of efficient legal research. Librarians also teach upper-division research courses designed to impart the research skills that make our students practice ready.
