In the United States, academic librarians are able to assist you in a lot of different ways,
From helping you discover resources, to brainstorming topics for papers, to teaching classes, the librarians at MacMillan Law Library are research experts, here to help you!
MacMillan’s Virtual Reference Desk is open Monday – Thursday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Friday, 9 a.m. to noon. The reference desk is staffed by members of MacMillan’s Research Services team, who all hold JD and MSLIS degrees. They have been through law school and know exactly what you are experiencing. You can ask them anything from “What resources should I start with when researching this topic?” to “What is the best way to study for my torts exam?”
All you need to do is jump on Zoom (Zoom Meeting ID: 930 5184 4067) to meet live with an expert in legal research.
