Here’s an overview of the Law Library’s presentation during Clinic Orientation, held Friday August 19, 2011.
A guide to clinical resources from the Law Library is at http://libguides.law.uci.edu/clinics. The guide is organized by tab, with one tab for each core clinic, a home tab with helpful resources for all clinics, and a tab with information about passwords and using the VPN. Highlighted resources include deskbooks in the Clinic Office, practice guides, treatises, specialized databases, call number ranges for specific topics, and news feeds. New resources will be added throughout the semester, so continue to check back for updated content.
When using ANTPAC to locate resources in the Law Library, there are 3 important locations to know aside from “Law Library Clinic Collection” (Clinic Office):
- Law Library Reserves – the area behind the Service Counter (2 hour check-out)
- Law Library Reading Room – the Main Level open shelving (some may circulate)
- Law Library – the Lower Level compact shelving (some may circulate)
For additional guidance, see our updated floor plan.
Clinical students are welcome to visit or email the Reference Desk to discuss research strategies, or for assistance locating or using any of the Law Library resources. Students should be careful not to divulge any confidential information about their cases or clients.
