The path to a legal solution travels many roads and can often take a detour depending on the information lawyers uncover as they search for answers. Whether you’re a paralegal, law clerk, or business leader, this certificate program from Cornell Law School will help you explore strategies and resources that lawyers use to find law and legal precedent and identify how they apply that information to find solutions for their clients.
Cornell Law School Professor Kim Nayyer will guide you as you discover legal resources that even nonlawyers can access in libraries or online, for free, including a template for developing a research strategy. You will also explore how lawyers across practice areas use specialized knowledge management systems, tools, and artificial intelligence products in their quest for legal solutions.
By the end of the program, you will be able to see a legal question from a lawyer’s perspective, understand how they develop a strategy for approaching legal research, and determine the best resources for the specific legal information a lawyer needs.
The courses in this certificate program are required to be completed in the order that they appear.
