Legal Research Seminars

Law Library Legal Research Seminars are for CSU|LAW students, including our MLS and LL.M. students. Law Library Legal Research Seminars are available online on the Westlaw TWEN platform. You earn points for completing a Seminar by correctly answering 3/4 of the questions on that Seminar’s quiz. Your Seminar points are good for the entire time you are here at CSU|LAW. When you earn 100 points, you are awarded a Law Library "Legal Research Letter of Recognition" and a digital badge, which you can share on social networks, blogs, and websites. You can earn multiple Letters and digital badges.
