Spring into Summer Success with Legal Research Certification

Legal Resesarch Certification

Exams may in the rear-view, but your summer job is still ahead!

All W&L Law students are invited to spring into a successful summer with the Law Library’s Legal Research Certification program, now open on Canvas.

You’ll learn real-world legal research tips and tools at your own pace (and at your own place!) and get prepared for your summer experience. Get information helpful for research projects in private practice, judicial internships, government agencies, in-house legal departments, and more.

Choose your own course of short instructional videos on topics, including legal practice materials, news and current awareness, legislative and agency materials, and useful tips from Bloomberg Law, LexisNexis, and Westlaw.

At the end, you’ll receive a Legal Research Certificate from the W&L Law Library that you can add to your resume and demonstrate your mastery of important research skills and resources that lawyers use every day.

Importantly, there is no time or date limit for completing the program this spring or summer—start and finish whenever is most convenient for you.
