- Like our live Seminars, the TWEN-based Seminars are for all C|M|Law students, including MLS/LLM students.
- The TWEN-based Seminars will be available through Friday, 4/25/17.
- You earn points for “attending” an electronic Seminar by correctly answering at least 3/4 of the questions on that Seminar‘s quiz.
- You cannot earn points for “attending” an electronic Seminar if you have already attended a live Seminar on the same topic. [You cannot earn points for attending the same Seminar twice.]
- 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 Legal Research Seminar Letter of Recognition, and you can earn multiple Letters of Recognition.
- If you earn a Letter of Recognition within the 2016-17 academic year, you will be entered into a drawing for a $150 Amazon gift card!
