ACS Research Link: Connecting Law Students & Public Interest Lawyers

One of our colleagues at USC's law library has posted information about this interesting new resource, ACS Research Link.  We're busy this week, so we're just going to cut and paste the information about the new service below: 

ACS is pleased to announce the launch of ACS ResearchLink: Connecting Law Students and Lawyers Committed to Justice. 

ACS ResearchLink creates a valuable online resource for the legal community by collecting legal research topics submitted by practitioners for law students to explore in faculty-supervised writing projects for academic credit.  Practitioners will receive a copy of the resulting student papers, which ACS will post in a searchable online library.  Follow these links to search or browse currently available research topics.

By connecting law students and faculty with the research needs of public interest organizations and advocates, ACS ResearchLink supports the public interest by enhancing the relevance and influence of student scholarship.

ACS ResearchLink is an excellent source of real-world legal questions through which to increase the relevance of your academic work -- whether you are writing for a law review or journal, seminar, dissertation or independent study.  In addition to identifying potential research topics, participation may also offer an opportunity to build important relationships with practitioners.

Follow this link to the student home page. Research topics are currently available, with more to be added throughout the academic year: follow these links to search or browse available topics.

Additional information about ACS ResearchLink is available online, including answers to frequently asked questions.  Please contact ResearchLink@ACSLaw.org or ACS Associate Director Shahid Buttar at SButtar@ACSLaw.org with any additional questions.
