Benefits
The internet is a resource for a vast array of legal materials with new or changing resources appearing online regularly. However, not all legal resources available on the internet represent authoritative or relevant information to the legal researcher. Legal web sites organize information in different ways; documents appear in a variety of file formats; and search engines may or may not index legal materials in concert with the legal researcher's expectations. This teleconference will help you develop an understanding of how to search for and find legal information on the internet. The teleconference also explains the context for efficient searching by comparing electronic searching with print research methods. Our expert speaker will compare editorial practices of legal web site managers to those of print publishers to illustrate how internet-based legal research fits into the larger research picture. You'll learn about research principles and methodology by examining specific web sites for your problem solving utility. This teleconference will provide you with strategies for better and more efficient searching. You will benefit from the practical, detailed knowledge of how legal information on the internet is organized and located.
