Share this post:

Next month, the Law Library will present a webinar on federal legislative history that will offer a deeper dive into a bill’s lifecycle, discuss the types of documents that are considered “legislative history” resources, and then explore methods of identifying and locating these items. Our second webinar is an orientation to the collections of the Law Library, with a focus on its online resources.

More information about the Law Library’s upcoming U.S. law webinars and registration links can be found below.
