Prepare for Summer with a Research Refresher

Before you head to that summer job, brush up on those research skills at the Law Library's annual Research Refresher brown-bag series! This year's schedule will help you review everything you've forgotten from LARW, and will also introduce some new, practice-oriented research topics in order to help you stand out in the crowd at work.

All classes will take place in Room 4172 from 12:15-1:15 p.m.* Dessert and drinks will be provided; attendees are encouraged to bring a lunch.

*Note: Business Law Boot Camp is a special two-part Research Refresher.

The second part will give you hands-on practice researching business law issues. Students can choose to attend both parts of this refresher, or just the first. Advance sign-up is strongly recommended for Business Law Boot Camp; see http://www.law.duke.edu/edtech/signup/ to register.
