Abstract

Distance learning at the graduate law level offers exciting opportunities for non-traditional students to learn not only substantive law but also new skills. One of these skills should be information research. In this paper, which was presented at a Parallel Session at the 38th Annual BIALL Study Conference in Sheffield in June 2007, Edward T. Hart looks back on his experience as a distance learner at Northumbria University, observes what worked and did not work and offers suggestions for law faculty and librarians to consider. The final section is a brief description of the current status of distance learning in American legal education.
