Librarians will create customized classroom presentations at the request of the faculty for any course at the School of Law. Presentations may focus on resources for selecting and researching a paper topic, advanced legal research techniques in specialized areas of law, or other subjects as requested. To request a classroom presentation for your class, contact Director Mike Martinez.
Librarians are also always available and willing to assist students one-on-one with class assignments through reference appointments. We encourage you to send students to us for research assistance!
Faculty members may also request customized research guides and bibliographies on specific legal topics to guide student research. A law librarian can compile a list of resources, create links directly to articles and databases, and provide you a PDF to load into Canvas or TWEN.
To request a research guide for your course, please contact Stacy Fowler or Casilyn "Casi" Lewis.
The Law Library makes available copies of course texts for all law school courses for 4 hour checkout to students. We encourage you to check that your course materials are up-to-date, by checking here: Course Reserves. If something is missing or out of date, or if you wish to make any other material available to students (i.e. faculty-owned texts, photocopied cases, articles, etc.), please email Stacy Fowler or call ext. 8073. The Law Library assumes that photocopied materials meet federal copyright law guidelines.
If you need a TWEN or Canvas site setup for your class, the librarians are happy to help with your course management. Please contact Director Mike Martinez for assistance.
CALI, the Computer Aided Learning Institute, is an online study platform for legal materials. It contains instruction modules, recorded lectures, and quizzes. CALI is an excellent resource for exam study and extra practice outside of class. CALI can be a great way for students to review for exams, and you can easily integrate CALI lessons into Canvas or TWEN.
