InstaClass: Legal Research Instruction Made to Order

What’s an InstaClass? A class designed especially for you (and four or more fellow students) on any legal research topic. The Library’s legal research specialists will design a class specifically to meet your needs – whether preparing for a law firm or public interest job, working on a clinical project, getting ready to write a research paper, or just curiosity.

Any group of 5 or more law students can order a custom class. To request a class, please complete this form and we will call or email you to set the date and time. Typical subjects include administrative/regulatory research, treaties and international agreements research, securities law research, immigration law research, tax research, legislative history, EU research, free and low-cost legal research, or research in a foreign jurisdiction, policy research, statistical research, and much more.
