Why get Lexis Certified?   To show employers that you know what you are doing!  Being Certified means you are an efficient legal researcher and are aware research costs.

How does Certification work?  It is a two-part series.  The first class is called "Practice Tools" and the second class is called "Cost Effective Research".  Practice Tools is offered next week and Cost Effective will be offered after Spring Break.  To become certified, you need to attend both classes and then take a quiz.  If you pass the quiz, then you will get listed on our National Certification Registry and can put "Lexis Certified" on your resume.

This year there is an added incentive!  One person at DU who attends a Certification class will win a $250 J. Crew gift card and an ABA membership!   The entire program is worth 1300 Lexis Rewards points - 400 for each class and 500 for passing the quiz.
