Schedule a PeRC (Personal Reference Consultation)
Law students may schedule a personal Research Consultation with one of the librarians. A research consultation allows for more extended research coaching, such as for course-related research, citation checking, or Note research. A law librarian will contact you, probably within 24 hours after you submit your request. Please visit the reference desk in person or via email if you need a faster response.
