You will not want to miss our upcoming Legal Research seminar occurring in Calgary on October 5th and in Edmonton on October 13th. We sat down with our chair of the program, Karen M. McDougall, to share with you a bit more about this program. Karen is the principal of Casefinder, an Edmonton-based research and writing firm consulting to Alberta lawyers. She was called to the bar in 1992 and has spent most of her professional time since then practicing exclusively in research and writing.
Karen, why should someone attend this program?
We believe we have put together a research seminar with a difference. Our “dream team” has the pedigree to offer insightful information on some truly advanced issues in research. It will be informative and interactive — no droning lecture delivery here.
What are three (3) key nuggets of information a registrant would walk away with after attending this program?
A good idea of what competency in research should look like; updated information on the mechanics of and strategies for good research (including the use of social media as an important component); and advanced information on the legislative process and how to find legislation (including international and foreign laws) and uncommon laws like policies.
