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 – Alex, Sarah, and Emily. Sessions will be happening on Zoom, no preregistration required.

A refresher for researching indigenous laws will be held during class time on February 5 for JD/JID stutdents.

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.
