Research - you NEED to know how

No more Mr. Nice Cat.  Like it or not you NEED to know how to research when you get out into practice or for your summer jobs.  And face it, if you are a second or third year, you have not done much legal research (which is different that paper research) since Legal Writing.  Even you journal students out there- you may be great source gatherers, but that is not the same as knowing how to do legal research.

Like the librarian superheroes that they are, just in time the Library is providing you Research Life-Line Workshop series designed to help you brush up on your legal research skills.

The first - a key to effective research - Research Strategy 101: smart ways to tackle tough questions - will be held on March 5, 12:10-1pm in Room 243.  There will even be pizza and a surprise gift.  R.S.V.P. to lawdek@hofstra.edu to reserve your spot.

Career preparation assistance, free food and goodies - how could you miss it????
