Law Librarians' Institute (Canadian Association of Law Libraries) - registration is now OPEN!

[Daniels, Katarina]

Dear colleagues,

 

The Canadian Association of Law Libraries is thrilled to announce that registration is now OPEN for our newly redesigned Law Librarians’ Institute. Our first session, Introduction to the Canadian Legal System, legal terms and concepts, starts on March 3^rd at 12pm ET.

 

The Law Librarians’ Institute is an opportunity for legal information professionals of any level of expertise to learn and / or refresh their legal research skills. Designed to meet the Competencies of a Legal Researcher in Canada, this problem-based course provides basic concepts pertinent to the Canadian legal system and includes plenty of detail, depth and opportunities to practice legal research. In particular, the course focuses on developing research skills related to federal legislation, court and tribunal decisions, and secondary sources, in addition to specialised topics such as Indigenous law, Quebec civil law, foreign and international law, and legal technology. 

 

The Law Librarians’ Institute consists of two distinct components: a virtual learning program and an in-person workshop. The virtual program features self-paced video lessons, guided exercises, and live virtual discussions, while the in-person workshop is a problem-based wrap-up session that takes place prior to the annual CALL Conference. Participants who complete all core virtual modules as well as the in-person session within two calendar years will receive a letter of completion from CALL/ ACBD. All core modules will be offered twice per year. 

 

The course schedule and registration information are available on our website here: https://callacbd.ca/LLI-Virtual-Courses

 

CALL members benefit from FREE registration to the virtual LII courses, while each session costs CA$50 for non-members (CA$15 for students). Regular membership is just CA$247 per year, with special pricing for retired, student, and unwaged members, so a great reason to become a CALL member!

 

Questions about LII in general can be directed to me, while questions about the syllabus and course work can be directed to Annette Demers from Windsor Law.

 

Looking forward to seeing some of you online and/or in person in Calgary!
