Course description
In this course, students will learn how to conduct legal research using current electronic sources and will develop advanced knowledge of legal terminology and transcription practices using web-based software. The transcription material is designed to capture a general law office practice in operation and will allow students to apply their proofreading, transcription and writing skills as they prepare various legal correspondence. Students will also develop oral communication skills in response to law office simulations and will apply both their legal research and communication skills as part of a legal research capstone project.
