This course provides an overview of the legal research universe that will ease and make more productive the student's transition from law school to law practice. In order to give students a framework for developing successful research strategies, we will briefly explore the history of legal materials and examine the structure and use of the various research tools applicable to a wide range of areas of research, e.g., cases, statutes, regulations, legislative history, and so forth. Students will work with all types of research systems, from traditional resources to the newest online research tools, such as AI-driven legal research innovations.
