The Applied Legal Experience, Research, & Technology (ALERT) Program is a non-credit program that provides students with additional opportunities outside of the College of Law’s curriculum to learn advanced legal research and technology skills. By completing the program, students can demonstrate to potential employers a desire to obtain practice-ready legal research skills and an ability to hit the ground running.
ALERT Sessions
We offer four 50 minute sessions each semester. To complete a session, you must attend the session in person or watch online, and successfully complete the associated quiz on the ALERT iCollege page. Online asynchronous ALERT sessions are also available. To complete these, simply follow the directions provided in the Online ALERT box in the upper right-hand corner of the page.
