Competitive Intelligence Research Certificate Seminar Today
The Competitive Intelligence Research Certificate Seminar is today, February 23rd, 4:50 pm-5:50pm, in Law Library Room A059.
Here are key points about the Law Library Research Certificate Seminars this Spring 2016 semester:
- You do not need to register in order to take a Seminar – simply come to the Seminar(s) you want to attend. We will take attendance at each Seminar, to be sure you are credited points as you earn them.
- We are offering a few 30-minute very focused Seminars, but most will be 60-minute in-depth Seminars. Many of the Seminars will concern WestlawNext, Lexis Advance, and Bloomberg Law, as well as key research strategies and resources for students planning on working this semester or during the summer.
- 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. When you earn 100 points, you are awarded a Law Library Research Certificate, and you can earn multiple Certificates. [You cannot earn points for attending the same Seminar twice.]
- If you earn a Certificate within the 2015-2016 academic year, you will be entered into a drawing for a $150 Amazon gift card!
