Come join Joan Policastri, the Westminster Law Library's very own FCIL research specialist in a series of classes being offered during the Spring semester.

There will be nine classes offering a variety of databases that can help you with your research projects. Each topic will be offered twice, once at noon and once at 5:15pm on the same day. A certificate of completion will be offered to those students who attend all nine sessions. Click here to print off a flyer with more details.
