Legal Research Strategies for the T-shaped Lawyer

Event Description

Deadline to Register Online: November 14, 2016

These days, attorneys are expected to have both a deep understanding of the substantive law as well as broad understanding of related concerns: business development, project management, technological know-how, industry expertise, and so on. As a result, common legal research tasks now include more than simply finding citable authority. In this seminar, we’ll briefly overview the history of legal research. Then, we’ll talk about what it means to find authoritative documents among today’s resources. We’ll also demonstrate strategies for completing the sort of common legal research tasks that today’s ‘T-Shaped’ Lawyers are expected to manage efficiently.
