This Research Guide should assist you in preparing your Practice Sets for WRAP, but it should also continue to assist you throughout your law school career in getting started on a legal research topic. 

Each tab of this guide corresponds to a particular topic for a particular legal research resource. On each tab you will find a tutorial that will teach you about the specifc resource as it pertains to your practice sets for WRAP. You will also find some additional resources that may help you further understand that resource and how and when you would want to use it.

Please also remember that the Reference Librarians are available to assist you with learning these resources, as well. In addition to the "Ask a Librarian" chat feature at right, please feel free to email, phone, or visit the reference librarians in person during normal working hours. 

During week 1 of your WRAP class, you attended library tours - a virtual tour of the catalog, and a physical tour of the library. This page of the Research Guide contains a slideshow of the virtual tour. If you need further assistance with the physical layout of the library, please don't hesitate to contact one of the librarians.

To view this slideshow, click on the forward arrow, and then click on the "More" tab that you will see on the right-hand side of the slideshow. Then click on "Fullscreen" if you wish to view the slideshow in full-screen. There are then plus and minus signs on the right-hand side that will allow you to zoom in and out.

Have a question? During regular work hours, you may chat with a William Mitchell reference librarian here.
