Introduction to Legal Research is a required component of your Legal Writing course this semester. Our primary goal in designing our instruction is to give you the basic legal research skills you will need to complete the Open Memo assignment. Legal Research is a skill best developed through hands-on experience, so we will utilize a flipped-classroom method of instruction. In this format, you will be asked to complete an online learning module, containing required readings as well as asynchronous recorded lectures, prior to attending each of the scheduled in-person class sessions. Each module will provide you with the instruction necessary to meet the stated learning outcomes, and each in-person class session will provide you with an opportunity to practice or demonstrate the learned skill.
