Proquest Congressional Legal Research Seminar

Law Library Legal Research Seminars cover Westlaw and Lexis Advance as well as many topical legal research areas. Law Library Legal Research Seminars are for C|M|LAW students, including our MLS and LLM students, and are continuously available online via the Westlaw TWEN platform. You earn points for completing an online seminar by correctly answering 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. When you earn 100 points, you are awarded a Law Library Legal Research Letter of Recognition and a Digital Badge, which you can post to your LinkedIn page.  

One of our newest seminars covers ProQuest Congressional. ProQuest Congressional [linked from our database page] is one of the best databases to use to answer legislative history questions. It is available on campus or remotely with authentication (CSU ID and PIN). One great feature is compiled legislative histories, which comprises documents related to the passage of an important piece of legislation that have been gathered and organized all in one place.

For more information on conducting legislative history research, see our Legislative History Research Guide.
