Legal research is a cornerstone of every law student’s practice-oriented education, but there’s no single “right” way to do it. Mastery comes through trial and error, as each student develops their own shortcuts, preferences, and strategies.
Still, there’s real value in hearing how others have navigated the same challenges. Students who have sharpened their research skills often have tips and approaches that can save you both time and frustration. Also, it’s good to celebrate (and commiserate) the highs (and lows) of solving a tough research tasks with good company.
That’s why the Muse Law Library is once again hosting a panel of accomplished 3L student researchers to share how they’ve constructed their approaches to legal research. Drawing on experiences as research assistants, journal members, legal scholars, summer associates, and more, these students will provide candid perspectives on the rewarding process of honing this essential skill.
Whether you’re just beginning or looking to refine your methods, this panel is a chance to gain practical, peer-tested strategies that can help you approach legal research with greater confidence and efficiency.
