How do you learn to research law (for library staff)?

The article I discussed in my last post spurred on a question from one of its readers, a student out of B.C. looking to learn how to do legal research. She has started a library techniques diploma but is wondering where to go next, if there are any courses on legal research or what else to do. I have suggested she speak with her instructors about courses or people in the field closer to her geographic location she might meet with.

I have just thought I should mention the fantastic Legal Research on the Web course being taught next spring by Clare Mauro out of the Professional Learning Centre at FIS to her.

Any other suggestions out there??

Cheers,
Connie

Another likely web spot for those who like to read and learn is Catherine Bests' excellent resource: http://legalresearch.org, Best Guide to Legal Research<\a> which offers strategies forlegal research as well as links to information sources.
