Presentations by Librarians

Many courses have paper requirements or drafting exercises. Librarians are available to guest lecture to introduce students to class subject-specific resources. Topics we have presented on include:

        * administrative law       * insurance Law               * tax law
        * bioethics                   * intellectual property
        * fact investigations       * international arbitration
        * family law                  * international law
        * immigration law          * statutes & legislative history

Custom Course Subject Guides

Law librarians can create web research guides or handouts that recommend and describe resources related to class assignments. For example, see this guide for the Advanced Insurance Law class. Liaisons can provide further information.
