In this seminar, we'll review the basics of
legal research using the Fastcase platform.
Fastcase is a member benefit at 50
state and regional bar associations. It's also one of the most popular benefits
at the Minnesota State Bar Association. In addition to primary source materials,
Fastcase hosts secondary materials, dockets, and valuable LexBlog content. This
program is designed for new Fastcase users or attorneys who might like a simple
refresher on how to conduct basic legal research. We'll cover these
basics:
- identifying and reviewing scope
of Fastcase databases
- drafting Boolean queries for Fastcase
(versus other common platforms)
- reviewing results with Fastcase
tools
- print, email, and other delivery options
- using alerts and saving searches
- Fastcase's 'bad law bot'
Plus, we'll explore unique Fastcase features
and answer your questions.
