BROWN BAG LUNCHThe traditional legal research path
encourages lawyers to use reputable secondary sources or keyword searches to
identify primary materials: case law, statutes, rules, and regulations. But, the
rise of Computer-Aided Legal Research means a wide diversity of non-primary
resources like trial court orders, dockets, and settlement summaries are now
helping attorneys and their clients make decisions based on information entirely
unrelated to substantive legal principles. In this session, we’ll explore how to
make the most out of new analytical tools available from traditional legal
research providers like Fastcase, Westlaw, and Lexis.
Speaker:
Mike Carlson, Attorney Editor,
MSBA. Mike served 10 years at Thomson Reuters as a Reference Staff Attorney
where he performed legal research, analyzed feedback, and provided trainings.
Mike now serves the online services team at the Minnesota State Bar
Association.
