Legal Research Boot Camp

On May 24, 2010, the Westminster Law Library in conjunction with the Legal Externship Program and the Career Development Center held a boot camp titled, Make Your Summer Experience a Success. This was the first time for the boot camp.

The event was for all law students and provided research skills for students working in any capacity during the summer. Legal research presentations included: Colorado Practice Materials, Legal Forms & Documents, Secondary Sources, and Alternatives to Westlaw and Lexis. Ann Vessels kicked off the event with her Getting it Right: Communicating with your Supervisor talk and the Career Development Center team discussed career advice with their, Backpack to Briefcase panel.

The Law Library plans to make this an annual event. So, be on the lookout for the next Make Your Summer Experience a Success in May or June 2011.

If you have any thoughts or ideas regarding the event, please contact Stacey Bowers . We value your input and hope to have a big turn out next spring.

You can access the materials in PowerPoint or PDF from the 2010 event here. Print copies will also be available at the Reference Desk while supplies last.
