This hands-on Zoom workshop teaches participants how to plan and carry out effective policy-related legal research from start to finish, including how to research secondary sources, statutes, regulations, cases, and policy resources, as well as how to conduct effective full-text searching within online databases. This workshop is excellently suited for anyone interested in improving their legal research skills, researching the legal framework surrounding policy questions, and getting started with policy research. This workshop is part of the Elements of Policy Analysis course, but all in the Stanford community are welcome to join.

Instructors: Heather Joy & Katie Siler, SLS Research Librarians
