1. Basic + Advanced Certification session: 

Law students can get help with legal research at any study level. After attending a short lecture students will be able to find case overviews, Halsbury’s Annotations, journals and the summaries of them, international content and case histories. You can learn how to do an advanced search for a specific topic. LexisPSL is very exciting in that you can use it for your quick pre-lecture reading and seminar preparation, problem questions and revision notes.
