Get REAL: Using Digests

It's easy to find a case when you have a citation, but what happens when you don't? What if your keyword search in Westlaw or Lexis just isn't finding what you want it to? Learn about finding cases by topic on Tuesday, February 9. Ethan will cover the tips and tricks in using digests. Meet at the Reference Desk at noon for a short review class.
