Uncover the best Google research strategies that will assist you in meeting your investigative research obligations.

Discover how Google will also help you manage your workload and collaborate more effectively with your clients, co-counsel, and members of your firm. High tech doesn’t need to come at a high cost and this seminar will show you how the wide range of free Google tools (some of which are in the “cloud”) can deliver Perrier results at tap water prices.
