LAW 5610 - Advanced Legal Research

Credit(s): 2
This is an experiential simulation course in which students develop legal research skills while resolving factual scenarios in a lawyer/client setting. Through a series of simulated exercises with faculty feedback, students develop their knowledge of, and skill in using, legal research sources, methods, and strategies. The course builds on and expands basic research skills by including sources not covered in the first-year Legal Research and Writing course, including international and foreign law, practice materials, administrative law, legislative history, search strategies, and cost-effective legal research. Both federal and Louisiana state legal research sources are covered. This course is graded on the 4.0 scale.
