Advanced Legal Research Syllabus (2014): “The Advanced Legal Research syllabus is for a 3 credit course offered at University of North Carolina. The course is one of many that fulfills the Law School’s skills requirement. The course is designed to teach the students about the sources, skills, and strategies an expert legal researcher must have. This includes traditional legal research topics (cases, statutes, regulations, etc.) as well as an introduction to other important topics such as finding support for factual and policy arguments or finding information about people and businesses. The class culminates in a research project where students are expected to do comprehensive research on a narrow legal issue, often comparing how the issue is resolved in several jurisdictions, and summarize their results in a memo and their process in a research log.” Sara Sampson
