Legal Research Consultations

Legal Research Consultations are live, one-on-one sessions available for JFK School of Law students and NU Paralegal students.

If you need help with APA, citation formatting, paper formatting, mechanics of style, writing, synthesis, or analysis, please contact the Academic Success Center for support.

Some of the topics that a Legal Research Consultation can cover include:

  • Navigating Westlaw Edge, Lexis + (JFK Students) and LexisNexis (Paralegal students).
  • Locating federal and state case law, statutes and regulations.
  • Researching a legal topic using both primary and secondary sources such as legal encyclopedias, practice treatises, West keynotes, etc.
  • Orientation to bar prep resources, exam prep, and study aid materials for law students.
  • Textbook access questions for law students.
  • And any other legal research questions you may have.

Please provide as much detail as possible on your legal research question when you book a consultation.
