Want to transform your legal research instruction from teaching basic information retrieval to enabling deeper analytical practice? We will discuss what analysis is, why it is important, and the challenges instructors face when teaching it. The panel will provide strategies for fostering students' critical thinking skills, both in addressing the substance of a legal issue and in researching that issue using technology. Participants will learn pedagogical techniques for empowering their students to engage with legal issues and materials in a deeper and more meaningful way.
