Legal Bibliography Management and Student Writing Programs

Audience: Anyone
Technical Level: Low

This program will focus on the software that manages the legal resources that the students find for their legal writing papers. It is based on my experience of using CiteIT for my advocacy’s Appellate Brief writing. Effectively managing the resources for law students can take much of the hassle out of the writing process, and can help students to focus on the content first and then on the citation style later. This is also consistent with the trend of moving from paper heavy to online environment, effectively using technology for the services of legal writing.
