CPD25 is pleased to offer:
LEGAL RESEARCH SKILLS WORKSHOP
26th February 2004
Birkbeck College
2pm to 5pm
This workshop is introductory in nature, and is aimed at those who are new
to legal research, or who would like a refresher course. It is aimed at
anyone who is unfamiliar with online legal research tools, particularly
those who work on enquiry desks. It will cover good free resources on the
Internet. It will not cover subscription services such as Lexis or
Westlaw. The workshop's focus will be upon sources and materials for the
UK and its devolved jurisdictions. However, we will include some coverage
of materials for the European Union and an outline of how to find sources
for other jurisdictions. It will be necessary in the course of the
workshop to mention some prominent legal publications in print, but the
workshop will concentrate on free materials on the Internet.
Participants will have an opportunity to:
Explore good free legal resources on the web with the help of a workbook
(browsing and searching)
Retrieve and examine examples of legislation, case reports, and journal
articles
Explore some resources on different branches of law, e.g. family,
employment, criminal, etc.
Complete exercises from the workbook and get feedback
Exchange ideas with other participants and with the workshop facilitators
The workshop will be interactive and participants will be able to use
Internet resources “hands on” to complete a workbook of tasks.
