Every year, to support the 1L Social Justice projects, law librarian faculty liaisons review and update existing online guides and create additional sub-topic pages and new subject guides.
The main university library (Snell Library) has many research guides on non-legal subjects here.
Video Modules
Check out our video modules on basic legal research topics, created by your NUSL law librarians. These are geared toward 1Ls, but are great for anyone looking for a refresher. These are found on the Videos page of this guide.
Our current offerings are on Secondary Sources, Cases, and Statutes. Stay tuned for additional videos in these categories, and for new topics.
