A Torts Outline: The Lost Leg-Lost Chance Doctrine

For all you new readers who missed our previous posting featuring Margaret Hagan’s “Are You a Nuisance?” property outline, here’s another 1L study gem – this time featuring torts…

FYI – this artist’s blog covers everything – not just the flowcharts and cartoons inspired by her journey through Stanford Law School, but also dolls, drawings, films, and t-shirts…

Like it?  Love it?  Want one of your own?  She has an account on Image Kind — a site that you can buy prints (framed, unframed, or canvassed) of her drawings – and she even offers tshirts featuring these images as well…

Follow her on Twitter here…

Kudos, Margaret, for yet again making the drudgery of studying for law school a little more delighful!

1L? There’s a LibGuide for That…

With the new semester just days away and our 1L orientation well underway, Charlotte Law classrooms are filled again and the school is bustling with excitement.  It seems like a fantastic time to point a finger at one of our newest LibGuides, Commonly Used 1L Resources.

This LibGuide is filled to the brim with tips, tricks and a variety of print and electronic resources hand selected by Charlotte Law students to help you survive your first year in law school.

Here you’ll find not only online materials specifically targeted to your 1L needs and books available through our library, but how-to-guides, tutorials, quick reference cards, specialized research guides and so much more…

Westlaw, TWEN, LexisNexis and CALI questions?  We’ve got you covered.  There’s even a collection of amusing law school videos to peruse when the stress quotient ratchets up too high and the sweet release of laughter is needed.  Check out this gem from George Washington University’s Law Review below…

So to all of our new students – enjoy the beginning of your semester, and be sure in the coming years to capitalize on all of the support the library can offer you on your journey!
