Legal Research

I was helping a student with a research project the other day and she said, "What am I going to do after I graduate when I need research help?"  I reminded her that she will still have access to the law library after she graduates and told her that she can still call us for research guidance.  She seemed surprised, but the research librarians assist alumni with research questions on a daily basis. Of course, we have to ensure that the research needs of our current students and faculty are met first, and we can't give alumni access to Lexis and Westlaw, but all of the research librarians are happy to provide research tips to our alumni.  We recognize that not every workplace is fortunate enough to have its own law librarian, and we want our alumni to succeed, especially during their first years of practice.
