Forms Forms Forms: Finding Forms and Templates at the Alameda County Law Library

No-cost, free MCLE event

1 hour participatory California MCLE credit

Program Description

This session covers the variety of online and print sources that are available through the law library.  During the program we will review sources for forms used in litigation and transactional topics.  Learn about the sources for forms on Westlaw, Lexis, Bloomberg, CEB, as well as a few third-party databases, and we’ll discuss some of the precise searches you can use to search these databases to find the forms you need.  We’ll also view websites that the librarians use to find forms and instructions.  Finally, we’ll review some of the sources that we have in library that are not available online.
