Equal opportunity. Arbitration. Law & economics. These are just a few of the many seminars with paper requirements being offered this spring semester.

If you are a law student and it’s time to get started on research for your seminar paper, ask any lawyer-librarian at the reference desk for assistance. Tarlton’s research guides may also be useful. Research guides can help not only in choosing a paper topic, but also refresh your memory about the legal research process and provide direction when researching various substantive topics.

For more in-depth assistance about the best way to research a seminar paper, feel free to contact Kasia Solon, Student Services Coordinator, at ksolon@law.utexas.edu.
