In this course, PC knowledge of researching court decisions, literature and legal materials with legal databases will be taught.
The ever-increasing range of offers provides new opportunities for lawyers:
The heavily laden walk through the library is often superfluous; the use of databases or the Internet saves the user time and energy. This
is particularly interesting for the student with regard to the term papers and seminar papers to be written.
The aim of the course is to enable students to utilise the possibilities of computer-assisted research for their own work.
The course not only deals with the technical possibilities of the most important databases, but also gives advice on how to find relevant literature before using a database.
Legal knowledge is not required, so participation in the course is recommended from the first semester onwards.
It is recommended to install the VPN client Cisco before the course.

- Beck-Online
- Juris
