SCOPE

• Legal research skills have a wide range of markets, including:
  • Law offices
  • Paralegal firms
  • Corporations
  • Not-for-profit organizations and other associations
  • Politics
  • Government agencies
  • Individuals
• In our litiginous society, these markets for these legal research skills are growing. Consequently, the outlook for this field of information research and management is very good.
• Legal research, though, requires specialized searching knowledge and techniques.
• This class does not have the time to explore online legal research in depth, so:
  • I have arranged access to several legal databases for the next week or so.
  • We will try a few exercises to get a fundamental understanding of the nature of legal database searching.
