Three Webinars: How Laws are Made<https://www.fdlp.gov/news-and-events/3117-three-webinars-how-laws-are-made?utm_source=newsletter_1267&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=three-webinars-how-laws-are-made&acm=391_1267>

Three live training webinars on "How Laws are Made" will be presented during the month of October. Registration is open for all sessions.

These webinars are unique sessions and do not build upon one another. You may attend one or any number of the sessions.
*         Speaker: Sharon Bradley, Special Collections Librarian, University of Georgia School of Law
*         Learning outcomes: Law, as defined in Black's Law Dictionary, is "a body of rules of action or conduct prescribed by controlling authority and having binding legal force." Our laws come from our three branches of Government: legislative, executive, and judicial. These webinars will focus on the law-making activities of each branch, the documents that are created during the process, and how they are used by lawyers and legal researchers.
*         Expected level of knowledge for participants: No prerequisite knowledge required
