Due to the popularity of last Spring's Summer Success Workshop, the Law Library has decided to hold, for the first time, this workshop in the Fall. This program is designed for 2Ls and 3Ls.
This hands on workshop will take place on October 30th from 12-4 p.m.
Reference Librarians will walk you through real-world research questions. You will learn how to tackle work assignments and brush up on your research skills.
Please sign up at the Law Library reference desk.
For more information, contact Margaret Hall: mfhall@email.unc.edu

On Thursday, Oct. 22, the Carolina Tar Heels will host the Florida State Seminoles for a nationally televised football game at Kenan Stadium, starting at 8 p.m. This Thursday night game, which will occur during students' Fall Break, is expected to attract a large crowd of fans on campus, beginning as early as 4 p.m. As a result, the University will alter the time at which the work day ends to allow all University employees ample time to leave campus and avoid the expected traffic congestion.
The University (including the School of Law and Law Library) will be closing at 3:00.
All vehicles should be removed from law school parking lots at 3:00 and will be towed if not removed by 5:00.

For those HeinOnline users who prefer to search using the Field Search, Hein has added a small but powerful option to this search page. The 'NOT' operator is now a selectable option in addition to the AND/OR operators you are used to using. The 'NOT' operator is used in a search the same way that you would use the AND/OR operators.
Simply select the NOT option from the drop box. The NOT operator is different because it functions as an exclusionary tool. This can be quite useful in weeding out search results that are very similar to the topic you are looking for, but are actually irrelevant to your search and just diluting the results that you really want.
For more information, go to the Hein weblog.
