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
Four 45-60 minute sessions are offered each semester. Completion of a session includes both attending or watching a session, and completing the associated quiz on the ALERT iCollege page.
