Brownbag: Results of Law Firm Legal Research Survey

Patrick Meyer will summarize results from his recent law firm legal research survey, which determined what research functions, and in what formats, law firms require new hires to be proficient. Such information effectively answers the question of what sources and types of research should be taught in an integrated fashion.

In the spirit of recent pronouncements by governing bodies and scholars that law schools should focus on preparing students for law practice, law firm survey results indicate a need to integrate the teaching of online and print-based research resources and to emphasize cost-effective research. Come out to see which types of resources firms are telling us to teach in an integrated fashion.

When: Noon, Wednesday, Nov. 9
Where: Thomas Jefferson School of Law
Room 229
1155 Island Ave.
San Diego, 92101

Don't miss SANDALL's February event on nonverbal communication

Even in today’s electronically connected world, librarians participate in face-to-face interactions every day, whether in the library or at the corner grocery store. Whenever we are dealing with that problem patron, the difficult coworker or even that person that is always a delight to be around, we are sending out and receiving signals through nonverbal communication. In fact, research has shown that at least “60 percent of meaning is communicated nonverbally.” Join us for a fun hour of information and demonstration of problems in nonverbal communication.

"Reading Faces" presentation by Leigh Inman, Friday, February 19, 2010, 4 pm - 5 pm at Thomas Jefferson School of Law, 2121 San Diego Ave.San Diego, CA 92110, Law Library BuildingRoom 300 (3rd Floor). Happy hour to follow at Cafe Coyote in historic Old Town.
