    Can anyone recommend a broadly-focused live or web-interactive
    introductory course on basic legal research that's geared toward the
    needs of an assistant law librarian (or perhaps a paralegal)? Ideally,
    such a course would cultivate intelligent Westlaw research habits and
    would provide a general overview of key concepts relating to
    jurisdiction, caselaw, case histories, statutes and administrative
    codes, etc. I'm trying to find a foundational 101 for a library
    assistant who is set to undertake a more significant role in legal
    research.
