  • Tuesday, March 26 – Statutory Research

    • Searching statutes – Federal & State
    • Analyzing statutes – the Smart Code tool and filters
    • Digging into legislative history

  • Thursday, March 28 – Regulatory Research
    Regulations are the most obscure sources of law while you’re in law school, but their importance in real-life legal practice can’t be overstated. Discussion topics include:

    • Finding regulations in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and Federal Register (FR)
    • Analyzing and interpreting regulations using Smart Code and other tools
