Description
Legal research is fundamental to providing legal analysis and advice. This advanced legal research course goes beyond what students have learned in their introductory legal research and writing course, thus allowing for the exploration of more advanced legal research skills. While it maintains the focus on practical legal research skills for purposes of providing professional support for client decision-making, it adds new approaches and skills. Thus, there may be a selected focus on such matters as development of research plans for more complex problems, engagement with interpretation statutes, comparative/foreign legal research, international law research, artificial intelligence and legal research, communication to clients, formulation of predictions with an awareness of effects of potential cognitive biases, ethical issues in research, and other advanced legal research matters.
Prerequisite(s): LAW 245.2 Legal Research and Writing.
