The ALL-SIS Legal Research Committee is developing a Legal Research Web Sourcebook. The Sourcebook, which will reside on the ALL-SIS web site, will be a password-protected repository of legal research course materials that can be shared with all members of AALL.
The goals of the Sourcebook are threefold: 1) to make legal research syllabi, course proposals and course materials available to members of AALL who teach legal research; 2) to stimulate the creation of new legal research courses and new methods for teaching legal research, and: 3) to support legal research training programs in non-academic law libraries.
The Legal Research Committee needs your help to make the Sourcebook a success. If you would like to contribute your legal research course and training materials to the Sourcebook, please contact Jennifer Murray at Jennifer.Murray@asu.edu. More information on the Sourcebook and how to contribute will be available at the ALL-SIS PR Table at the annual meeting in Boston.
If you teach Advanced Legal Research, please join the Legal Research Committee’s Advanced Legal Research Instructors Workshop in Boston on July 12th from 7:00 - 8:45 am. The roundtable will give participants an opportunity to share their teaching experiences, discuss successes and ‘challenges,’ and stimulate ideas for future creative and effective collaboration among instructors.
