Show Notes

On this week's episode, the ladies talk about legal research aka "Cite the case!" They cover who is going to use this, YOU obvi (AND all the other lawyers in the world). You will most likely learn ALL about legal research your 1L year. But if you're like the ladies and maybe didn't pay enough attention in your legal research class, they have you covered!

The ladies discuss where to start when you get a research assignment #secondarysoruces, how long to spend researching before you ask for help, and how to get the search engine to work for you! Remember that legal research takes practice, so the research assignments you get throughout law school are GREAT practice!

Lastly, the ladies discuss the recent oral arguments in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health. Listen to the oral argument audio HERE and check out the ladies' Instagram post on the matter.
