Reference librarians are available to meet with students in one-on-one sessions (or in small groups) to discuss research strategies, recommend relevant resources or review specific topics of legal research. 

Contact law-library@uic.edu with the research subject and a time to meet. A librarian will get back to you to set up an appointment.  Please request an appointment at least two days in advance.  Remember that immediate help with a quick research question may be obtained at the reference desk.
