The Law Library has just published two new research guides. The first, Intellectual Property Law, includes essential resources for those researching in the areas of copyright, patents, trademarks, and trade secrets. It is hoped that the guide will be of help to students in the Intellectual Property Law track of the Law and Technology Institute.
The second guide, Conflict of Laws, is designed to assist students taking the staple course Conflict of Laws. The guide describes texts, study aids, articles and other resources essential to researching this complex area of law.
