UPDATED June 23, 2025:
Are you an RA and looking for community during your summer? Join other RAs in Room 5K for brown bag lunch and quite working every Monday and Wednesday from 12pm - 4pm through August 11, 2025, courtesy of Dean Lawrence.
Dean Lawrence has also created a Microsoft Teams page where RAs can chat with each other to arrange outings, swap advice, support each other, or anything else that could be helpful to an Emory Law Research Assistant.
Welcome to the 2025 edition of the MacMillan Law Library’s Summer RA Workshop Research Guide. This guide has been created to help the Summer RAs of 2025 find answers to some of our most Frequently Answered Questions covered during the 3-hour workshop held on Wednesday, May 7, 2025.
Each workshop presenter has created a page in this guide that includes information about the topic discussed. Some pages also include additional information, explanations, and links beyond what was covered in our short time together.
If you can’t find the answers here or on our website, www.library.law.emory.edu, feel free to reach out to us via our Student Research Consultation Request form which you can use to ask us a simple question or request an in-depth, one-on-one consultation with one of our librarians.
