Technology has provided so many ways for attorneys to locate the best and most on point statutes, cases, secondary sources and other relevant materials that it can be a little overwhelming. The goal of this course is to assist attorneys in navigating the world of online legal research, so they can competently – and confidently – research the subjects important to their work. During this session we will review recent enhancements to the Lexis platform, the power of Shepards, as well as highlight research best practices for navigating Lexis.com.

Class covers:

  • Discover various methods for conducting research and when to use each.
  • Gain an understanding of how online platforms have been enhanced to predict what you’re looking for.
  • Ascertain the multiple ways to filter searches before and after inputting your search.
  • Discover different search term approaches: natural language and terms and connectors.
  • Understand the role technology plays in validating primary authority.
