Refugee Law Research-a-Thon

Stop by the library tomorrow to participate in the Refugee Law Research-a-Thon hosted by the UVic Law Chapter of the Canadian Association of Refugee Lawyers (CARL). The purpose of this event is to gather information to address research questions provided by the Immigration and Refugee Legal Clinic (IRLC). The IRLC provides free immigration and refugee legal services for low-income individuals in British Columbia.

The law librarians have created a website to help students identify research strategies and sources for each question, and will also be on hand throughout the afternoon to help students research.

The event runs Friday November 19, 2021 from 12pm-4pm in room 265 of the law library — see you there!
