Legal Research Workshop

In this workshop students will be provided with a demonstration of how and where to access the legal research tools (including primary and secondary sources) available through the Library. They will receive an overview of core legal research concepts, including legal citation tools. A digital mini-quiz will be provided during the formal lecture to help reinforce key concepts, and students will complete a digital worksheet. Time will be provided to take-up the exercise and discuss student questions.

After this workshop, students will be able to:

• Identify the legal research services and collections available from Humber Libraries
• Locate print and electronic legal literature using the Library's Page 1+ search tool
• Differentiate primary and secondary legal resources
• Compare and discuss how to effectively use core legal research databases
