This course guides students on how to do legal research and writing.
Through legal research, a researcher can develop a more sophisticated understanding of law, by referring to codes, legal treatises, and legal encyclopedia, among others. Navigating through that data, however, requires a systematic and practical approach. By gathering appropriate information, analyzing it, and drawing conclusions from the analysis, a researcher can best serve the interests of the client. For this Basic Completion course, students have 24/7 access to on-line testing materials. Each chapter of text in a course has twenty questions, multiple choice, true-false or a combination thereof.
Students may query the instructor up to three times, via e-mail, regarding course content. For the Advanced Completion course enrollment, students have unlimited access to the instructor via e-mail. Course Textbook link:
