Legal Research Instruction Roundtable

Sunday, July 13, 12–1:15,
Oregon Convention Center room E145

The ALL-SIS Legal Research & Sourcebook Committee's “Legal Research Instruction Roundtable” will be held in Portland on Sunday, July 13, from 12 noon – 1:15 p.m. in room OCC-E145. The Committee invites everyone currently engaged in teaching legal research, those interested in teaching sometime in the future, and any and all veteran instructors to join in the active discussions at our Roundtable event. This year, the topics cover issues we all face every year, as well as emerging challenges that we are likely to face in the near future.

Come and choose a table, share your experiences and questions, and learn something new from colleagues teaching at law schools around the country. Topics include: Teaching Research to Foreign and LL.M. Students; Teaching Introductory Legal Research; Teaching Advanced and Specialized Legal Research; Effectively Integrating Legal Research Instruction with Legal Writing; Effectively Integrating Technology into the Legal Research Curriculum; To Text or not to Text: A Discussion about Legal Research Textbooks and their Value; and The Role of Information Literacy in Teaching Legal Research.

The Committee looks forward to another productive and enjoyable exchange of ideas with our colleagues engaged in research instruction, and, on behalf of the Committee, I invite you to join us. We hope to see you in Portland!
