Legal Research and Citation Refreshers in January

Voyager, CED, Abridgment, Halsbury’s—sound vaguely familiar but could be Dr. Who characters as easily as Canadian legal research tools?
Then try to make it to one of our noon hour legal research refreshers, presented by the law librarians in the Law Library computer lab. No preregistration required. The Wednesday sessions are repeats of the Monday sessions.

Week 1 (emphasis research strategies and materials)
Monday, Jan 21:               12:00 – 1:00 pm
Wednesday, Jan 23:      12:00 – 1:00 pm

Week 2 (emphasis citations)

Monday, Jan 28:              12:00 – 1:00 pm
Wednesday, Jan 30:     12:00 – 1:00 pm

The law library also has legal research and writing guide: https://libguides.uvic.ca/lrw that you may find helpful as you are working on your open memo assignment. There you can find a research strategy overview, links to sample research plans and journals, and primary and secondary legal research starting points.

If you have any questions … remember, we’re here to help you. Ask us!

Research Help Desk Closures

On the dates of the research refreshers, the Research Help Desk will be closed from 11:30 am – 1:30 pm. Research help will remain available at the desk from 3:00 – 5:00 pm or by appointment.
