Fall 2016 Research Certificate Seminar Schedule

Image of laptop and notepadThis 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!
