Survey on legal research skills


Guess what? It's not good.  The survey "asked respondents how well recent law school graduates performed certain legal research skills. Generally speaking, the librarian respondents reported significantly more negative opinions about the research skills of recent law school graduates than reported by similarly situated attorneys. On question after question, a significantly greater proportion of the librarians rated the ability of recent graduates to carry out the research task at issue as “unacceptable,” “poor” or both, than did the attorneys."
