This Friday is the all-day 2019 Research-a-thon: “Getting Current with the Current” event. The Environmental Law Club has partnered with the Environmental Law Centre and the Indigenous Legal Research Unit, to look at water law using both colonial and Indigenous research methodologies, focusing on water law in Nicola Valley.
Law librarians Sarah and Alex prepared a targeted and comprehensive research guide website to help the students identify and work with valuable resources in the law library collection, including BC legislative research content in our Quickscribe, HeinOnline, LLMC Digital, and BC Laws databases. It also incorporates the legislative starting points compiled by former ELC articling student Renata, and Kim’s chapter on researching BC legislation, as well as a list of Indigenous Law Resources.
The librarians will be on hand throughout the day, to help with the intricate process of historical legislative and contextual legal research.
The event runs from 10am – 5pm, with a lunchtime panel discussion from 11:30-12:30 in rm 157 featuring Deborah Curran from the Environmental Law Centre and Chief Harvey McLeod of the Upper Nicola Band.
