Fall 2016 Research Certificate Seminar Schedule
This Fall 2016 semester, the Law Library is conducting eight Research Certificate Seminars. These Seminars are for C|M|LAW students, including our MLS and LLM students.
We are also offering another special prize opportunity this 2016-2017 academic year!
Key points about Law Library Fall 2016 Research Certificate Seminars:
- You do not need to register to take a Seminar – simply come to the Seminar(s) you want to attend. We take attendance at each Seminar, to be sure you are credited points as you earn them.
-
Each of the Seminars will take place on Wednesdays, in Law Library Room A059.
- We are offering several 30-minute Seminars, and a couple 60-minute in-depth Seminars. Many of the Seminars will concern Westlaw, Lexis Advance, and Bloomberg Law.
- You earn 12.5 points for attending a 30-minute Seminar, and 25 points for attending a 60-minute Seminar. Your Seminar points are good for the entire time you are here at C|M|LAW. [You cannot earn points for attending the same Seminar twice.]
- When you earn 100 points, you are awarded a Law Library Research Certificate, and you can earn multiple Certificates.
- If you earn a Certificate within the 2016-2017 academic year, you will be entered into a drawing for a $150 Amazon gift card!
