3/28 Ohio Legal Research “Crash Course”
The Ohio Legal Research for Your Summer Associate Experience Seminar is Tuesday, March 28th, 4:50pm-5:50pm, in Law Library Room A059. This Ohio legal research “Crash Course” Seminar is worth 25 points toward a Legal Research Seminar Letter of Recognition.
We will have one more live Seminar this Spring semester – the Getting Ready to Clerk Seminar is Tuesday, April 4th, 4:50pm-5:50pm, in Law Library Room A059. There are also two TWEN-based Law Library Legal Research Seminars, available through Friday, April 25th, that you can “attend” at your convenience: Scholarly Writing (21:51 minutes; 25 points) and Research Management with Zotero (9:35 minutes; 8.5 points).
Here are key points about the Spring 2017 semester Law Library Legal Research Seminars:
- We recently changed the name of our Seminars – from “Research Certificate Seminar” to Legal Research Seminar. No worries! All of your past points carry over to our new Seminar series!
- Law Library Legal Research Seminars are for C|M|Law students, including MLS/LLM students.
- To access the TWEN-based Seminars, log onto Westlaw, then connect to TWEN, then click the “Add Course” button to display the C|M|Law Library Legal Research Seminars course in your “My Courses” list.
- You do not need to register to take a live Seminar – simply come to the Seminar(s) you want to attend. We take attendance at each live Seminar, to be sure you are credited points as you earn them.
- You earn 12.5 points for attending a live 30-minute Seminar, and 25 points for attending a live 60-minute Seminar. You earn points for “attending” a TWEN-based Seminar by correctly answering at least 3/4 of the questions on that Seminar‘s quiz. 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 Legal Research Seminar Letter of Recognition, and you can earn multiple Letters of Recognition.
- If you earn a Letter of Recognition within the 2016-2017 academic year, you will be entered into a drawing for a $150 Amazon gift card!
