About this event

The Scottish Law Librarians' Group Presents, in association with the Advocates' Library, Edinburgh:

The House of Commons Library and Briefing Paper Research

The SLLG Committee and Advocates' Library are delighted to introduce the inaugural event in our new online lecture series which we hope will be of great interest to law librarians, legal professionals, law students and anyone with an interested in professional legal research.

David Torrance is an experienced researcher at the House of Commons Library and has worked on briefing papers relating to both Scottish Independence and current events in Northern Ireland.

In this talk he will introduce the work of the House of Commons Library, explaining the resources available, how research is conducted, and how briefing papers contribute to the work of the House.

We will look at some of the briefing papers David has authored, specifically with reference to issues of relevance for legal professionals in Scotland such as the legality of an independence referendum.

The event will also include time for questions after David's presentation.

This is an online event which will be hosted on Zoom. A link to the event will be sent out to registered attendees two days prior to the talk. The event will be recorded and a link will be circulated to attendees along with additional resources relating to David's work following the event.

For more information, please contact SarahLouise McDonald (SLLG Convenor) using the contact information provided.
