Collaboration and Creativity: First-Year Legal Research in 2022

This panel will showcase the innovations that are occurring in these courses with a focus on collaboration between legal research and legal writing courses, innovative approaches for teaching legal research using simulations and online exercises that provide opportunities for repetition and immediate feedback, and a discussion of how AI innovations in legal research are impacting first-year legal research instruction.
