    2022 Summer Research Challenge and Research Skills Workshops

    Ramp Up Your Research Skills!

    This summer, take advantage of multiple opportunities to up your research game and learn more about tools you’ll need in practice through our popular Summer Research Challenge! Click here to see the flyer for details.

    Each session begins at 6:00 p.m., with a short introduction to the research area, and then moves on to a concrete research problem where you need to efficiently identify the law bearing on your client’s situation. The sessions are two hours long and will wrap up with a discussion of results and strategies.

    Attend whichever sessions most interest you, but researchers who successfully complete all four will receive a certificate signed by both Associate Dean William LaPiana and Associate Dean & Library Director Camille Broussard recognizing this achievement. It’s a great practical skill certification for your resume.

    June 8:   Researching Congressional Documents: Statutes and Legislative History

    June 15: Navigating the Regulatory Maze: Research in Administrative Law

    June 22: Where in the World is the Law: Tools and Strategies for International Law Research
