Join a group of librarians and representatives from each of the major research platforms (Bloomberg Law, Lexis, and Westlaw) as we discuss tools and strategies that will help you approach real-life legal research in your summer jobs and beyond.

"I need you to figure out how midstream Miranda warnings are interpreted under federal law."

"Get me complete legislative histories of the National Voter Registration Act and the Help America Vote Act."

"Have firearm laws changed in any jurisdiction in the US since 2015 with regard to privately owned land and buildings?"

These are actual issues that your classmates had to research last summer. How confident are you in your research skills? How would you approach these issues?
