In teaching multiple Legal Research and LIS courses, I strive to include as much hands-on learning as possible.  It is one thing to understand the theory behind why and what one should research.  It is another thing to understand how to do it.  I do my best each week to create a lesson plan that is both relevant and current: Relevant in that it gives students the necessary knowledge to complete tasks and current in that it integrates the most recent research techniques with current trends.
