TEACHING INTERNET LEGAL RESEARCH ("THE FREE WEB")

From the 2004 CALI Conference for Law School Computing

Audience:
Technical Level:

The web is becoming more and more important as a cost-effective means of obtaining primary and secondary legal resources. At the same time, non-legal resources (company information, information on individuals, news) seem to be increasing in importance for attorneys. How do law schools teach web research, and when? This session will examine the ways that two institutions do such.

Among other things, attendees will learn what types of free online legal resources exist, the advantages to and disadvantages of those resources, and how to incorporate them into an electronic legal research course or as a stand-alone offering.

@malcolm9001 Hello. This is a video from a 2004 conference presentation. We thought we'd post all of our past conference videos to YouTube as a public service, as opposed to keeping them hidden away somewhere on a server. As such, quality varies drastically. As much as we'd like to, we can't go back and change things like camera angles. :) Sorry!
