Congratulations to UCI Law 1Ls for finishing your first term of law school!
You have successfully made the transition to thinking like a lawyer. From now on, law school will be busy and (at times) stressful – but never as hard as your first classes!
Your first class as a seasoned law student is Legal Research (Intersession).
This class will run from Monday, January 5 to Friday, January 9, and will include a pre-class assignment (due by 11.59 p.m. on January 4) and a final assignment (due by 11.59 p.m. on January 30).
The class is designed to prepare you to take on the research assignments typically encountered at school and in the workplace. Concepts will build on those introduced in your first semester of Lawyering Skills.
Before the first class, you will need to login to TWEN, and
- Read the syllabus.
- Complete Class 1 Reading.
- Complete a Pre-Class multiple choice assignment.
The Pre-Class assignment is located in the Homework Drop Box. You will need to use your Student Paper Number as your TWEN Anonymous ID. Access your anonymous Student Paper Number through MyCourses, http://apps.law.uci.edu/mycourses/
The Pre-Class assignment is five questions, and worth 5% of your course grade. You will have one hour to complete the five questions from the time of starting.
The law librarians are very excited about this class, and look forward to working with each of you to further develop your legal research skills. We have made every effort to integrate our course learning goals with the law school curriculum, and to ensure a positive student experience!
Send pre-class questions to your course instructor or to Lisa at Ljunghahn@law.uci.edu.
