VALL April Session: “US Law 101” with Adam Lederer
Wednesday April 28, 2021
12:00PM – 1:30PM
Description
As our largest trading partner and only geographic neighbour, it is not an overstatement to say that the United States plays an important part in Canadian life, down to our work as legal information professionals! It is also likely not an overstatement to say that the US legal system is intricate, complex and perplexing.
To this end, join Adam Lederer as he shares his knowledge and experience with US legal research practices, and the American legislative and judicial branches. He will also share some helpful resources and offer tips for using PACER when searching court dockets.
Though a “101” introductory-level session, if you have a particular aspect of US legal research that you would like to be addressed, please suggest them to our Programs Co-Chair Erin Clupp by sending an email to: erin.clupp@nortonrosefulbright.com
