Program Description: This presentation will provide foundational information about Montana's legal system and some best practices for legal research. We will not only focus on how to conduct legal research, but we will shed light on why information in the legal system is organized in particular ways. The goal of this discussion is to achieve a deeper understanding of research tasks. Additionally, we will review free or low-cost options for finding legal information.

This event is focused on Montana attorneys looking to improve their legal research skills. If you have questions, please feel free to contact us at 406-444-3660 or LawLibCirc@mt.gov<mailto:LawLibCirc@mt.gov>.
