摘要

摘要许多法学院应届毕业生的法律研究技能与他们在法律实践中取得成功所需的技能之间存在着长期的差距。仅仅将法律研究作为第一年法律研究与写作课程的一部分来教授实在太难了，因为这门课程涉及到一名教员试图在教授全新的写作方式的同时教授全新的研究方式。法律图书馆员是每一所法学院的法律研究专家，他们部署了各种解决方案来解决这一差距。这篇文章提出了一个这样的解决方案：一个非学分的法律研究能力计划，以帮助学生发展和加强他们的法律研究技能。它是一种灵活的模式，通过各种技术和各种媒介提供法律研究指导。

Developing Essential Research Skills for Law Practice: The Legal Research Competency Program

Abstract A long-standing gap exists between the legal research skills of many new law school graduates and the ones they need to succeed in the practice of the law. It is simply too difficult to teach legal research solely as part of the first-year required Legal Research & Writing course, which involves a single faculty member trying to teach a whole new way of writing at the same time as a whole new way of researching. Law librarians are the legal research experts in every law school, and they deploy a variety of solutions to try to address this gap. This article addresses one such solution: a noncredit legal research competency program to help students develop and strengthen their legal research skills. It is a flexible model that provides legal research instruction through a variety of techniques and across a variety of mediums.
