LAWS 2172

This course builds on the research and writing skills acquired in the first-year mandatory legal research and writing course. Canadian primary and secondary sources will be explored in depth, and students will also be introduced to the legal materials of international jurisdictions such as Great Britain, the United States and the European Union. There will be an opportunity to acquire advanced legal research techniques using print resources and electronic legal databases. Students will become skilled in evaluating legal materials and practise legal writing skills while doing exhaustive legal research in a chosen area of law.
