About the Event

VLS invites you to a FREE Workshop on ‘Open Source Legal Research’. Legal research is critical for all law students. Not all law colleges provide access to e-databases and they are quite expensive. As a result, often thousands of law students who cannot afford the heavy fees of leading law schools seem to lag behind. This workshop primarily aims to help and support such law students in their pursuit of legal research.

No more relying on non-citable websites to cite court judgments, articles, or any form of legal literature. Lesser reliance on certain blogs while writing serious law articles or projects. Finding judgment from authentic sources and learning to cite one. And much more will be shared in this workshop. No one who cannot pay heavy law school fees or does not have access to expensive e-database shall be left behind. VLS aims to promote equality in legal research through this workshop. This workshop focuses on:

Case law search
Open source law journals
Open source articles
Non-citable websites
Plagiarism vs. Similarity Index & much more….
