Legal Research Crash Course a Success

By Deb Person, Law Librarian

The law librarians at the University of Wyoming College of Law–Tim Kearley, Deb Person, and Tawnya Plumb–presented a 4-hour CLE and student workshop on effective legal research techniques on Saturday, March 29.  The Legal Research Crash Course was sponsored by Westlaw; Lexis; Dray, Thomson & Dyekman; Hirst Applegate; the Spence Law Firm; and the law library and was designed as a review of time and cost efficient research processes using paper, online commercial, and free internet searching.  The session was well-attended, with a crowd of nearly 60 law students and local attorneys.  Breakfast was provided, and door prizes were awarded, thanks to the generous sponsorship.

The Power Point presentations are posted on the law library’s web site at http://uwadmnweb.uwyo.edu/lawlib/crashcourse.ppt.
