Spring 2012 Research Certificate Seminars

Welcome back for the Spring 2012 Semester!  The Law Library is continuing its Research Certificate Seminars this semester, and several Seminars will particularly help hone your database research skills.  All of the Seminars will take place on Wednesdays, 4:50pm-5:50pm, in Room A059 in the Law Library.  To register for a Seminar, please contact Laura Ray, Instructional Services Librarian, 216-687-6880, laura.ray@law.csuohio.edu.

Seminar attendance is limited to 20 students, so make your reservations as soon as possible.  Attendees will earn 25 points, and students who earn 100 Seminar points will be awarded Law Library Research Certificates.  Seminar points carry over, so points you earned in previous semesters are still good toward your Certificate.

Research Certificate Seminars discuss research materials and resources critical to successful legal practice and scholarly writing, as well as focus on research skills law firms and courts are seeking when hiring associates and clerks.  Presented by our team of research librarians, the Seminars offer a unique forum for students to learn more about specific research topics.
