The Law Library is pleased to announce two new online resources to assist you in selecting topics for seminar and law review papers, comments and notes.
1. Paper Topic Ideas 
(L&C email username & password required for access)
Our Paper Topic Ideas page consists of suggested paper topics submitted by Lewis & Clark Law School faculty. Available only to L&C Law students, they are provided to assist you in your paper-selection efforts and to point towards the forward edges of the law.
The name of the faculty contributor and date of submission follow each paper topic. Please feel free to contact the faculty member for more details.
Paper topics are available in the following broad subject areas to start, with more to be added as faculty submit topics: Criminal law, Environmental and Natural Resources Law, Immigration Law, Intellectual Property, and International Law.
2. Choosing A Paper Topic
In addition to the faculty recommended paper topics (your first stop in search of a topic), the Law Library has prepared this page of current awareness sources and ideas for topic-finding strategies.
Sources include: Searching for circuit splits in U.S. Law Week, reading recent topical reporters, alerts, and update services (online and print), the Current Index to Legal Periodicals, blogs, guides and more.
As always, we welcome your ideas and suggestions for this and our other web pages. Find Rob Truman in the library or in his office (Wood Hall room 215), or email him at rtruman@lclark.edu with your feedback.
