Notification
LawBRO is pleased to announce the launch of the LawBRO Certified Legal Researcher certification, an online test that checks whether you can find the law, confirm it is still good law, and cite it accurately.
About the certification
Legal research is the skill that separates a good lawyer from an average one. This certification tests it directly. There are no lectures or modules; you are assessed on the skill itself. The questions are drawn from real judgments, citations and statutes, from landmark decisions to lesser-known ones, and answering them takes genuine research, not memory.
