The seminar will provide J.S.D. students with a foundation for conducting in-depth legal research and support the students with developing their proposed dissertation project. We will explore the following: different types of research, how to plan a research project, research methodology, and review available organizational tools, and more. J.S.D. students will also gain a better understanding of what research resources are available for their chosen topics.

J.S.D. students will have opportunities to discuss their research projects and ideas with the group and participate in constructive discussion and feedback. At the end of the seminar, students will have made progress on developing a research outline for their proposed dissertation topic by exploring secondary sources and other research resources.
