Description: Advanced Legal Research (3 credits) offers an in-depth, hands-on experience with the process of legal research. Students use a wide range of legal materials and devise practical techniques and strategies for using these materials competently and effectively. The goal of the course is to create self-sufficient legal researchers capable of analyzing and resolving legal problems effectively. Emphasis is placed on the types of legal sources and research not covered in the first year of law school (e.g., treatises, forms sources, administrative law, statutory research, legislative histories and legal practice materials). Both print sources and free and fee-based electronic sources are explored and critiqued. The course covers Westlaw, Lexis, Bloomberg Law, and other electronic sources.

Description: Administrative Law Research is a two-credit simulation-based course that qualifies as an experiential course under the ABA requirements. In this course, students will develop legal research skills but also other lawyering skills such as organization and management of legal work, professional ethics, and collaboration. Through the use of realistic fact patterns, we will work together to approach and solve research problems that implicate administrative law. Students will explore the general structure of the administrative state in the U.S. and how to research the materials generated within that structure. This includes how administrative regulations are promulgated, how agency decisions are made and reviewed, and how guidance is issued. The class will focus on immigration, securities, and tax law. However, students will learn skills that they can apply to other heavily regulated areas of practice. Grade will be based on class attendance, participation, and graded assignments.
