Legal Research Refresher Sessions

Legal Research Refresher Sessions

Do the LRW research tutorials seem like a distant memory? Are you staring at your open memo not knowing where to start?

Then come to one of our lunch hour research refresher sessions presented by law librarians: Sarah and Emily. Sessions will be happening on Zoom, no preregistration required.

Week 1 : Emphasis on secondary sources and resources for researching Canadian state law

January 18 & 20 from 12:30-1:20pm (same session each time)

Week 2: Emphasis on citation

January 27 from 12:30-1:20pm

The law library also has a 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 a sample research plan, and primary and secondary legal research starting points.

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

Welcome Back! Library Hours and Research Help Update

Welcome back to a new semester!

While the first two weeks of classes are online, the law library is open!  Until January 24th, the law library has reduced hours:

Mon-Fri: 8:00am – 6:00pm

Sat-Sun: 10:00am – 5:30pm

The research help desk is closed until the 24th, but the law librarians are still here to help!   You can email lawref@uvic.ca for reference help, or to set up an in person or Zoom appointment.  You can also drop by the law librarian offices.

Stay safe and healthy!
