Legal Reference 2.0: Navigating Maryland Resources Online
For registration, please go to https://marylandlibraries.libcal.com/event/15856299.
What is the difference between legal research and legal advice? How can we help patrons find the right forms without crossing the line? If you’ve ever felt uncertain when a patron asks for legal help—or if you want to learn more about legal research—this session is for you.
Join us for Legal Reference 2.0, a practical guide to handling legal inquiries with confidence and precision. We’ll break down the basics of legal reference, including the "golden rule" of providing information rather than advice to avoid the unauthorized practice of law.
In this session, you will:
- Navigate Legal Forms: Learn how to find free, Maryland-specific forms for everything from real estate to family law.
- Connect with Referrals: Get a curated list of reliable Maryland legal aid and referral services for patrons.
- Explore current and new trends on the horizon such as using generative AI for legal research - and how to prepare patrons effectively.
