Our presenter, Lee Van Duzer of Washington County Law Library, will explore the intersection of legal and historical research, showing some of the more advanced features of legal research tools. Please join us Tuesday, August 23rd at 10am PST.

Researching a Family Legend: The Intersection of Legal Research and Genealogy
When a patron asked us to track down a relative who supposedly sued the government and won, we had to reach beyond traditional legal research to find the case and its history. Through this tale we will explore the intersection of legal research and history, and see some of the more advanced features of legal research tools. The name of the relative didn’t yield a case, but it lead us to news articles in the genealogy databases. Those articles gave us the keys to unlock doors into case law, a private bill in Congress, and the complete story to share with our patron. Presented by Lee Van Duzer from Washington County Law Library.
Learner Outcomes:
Participants will learn basic use of legal research databases

Jackson County Library Services acknowledges that its libraries are located within the traditional lands of the Shasta, Takelma, and Latgawa people, whose descendants are now identified as members of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians and Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, as well as of the Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians and Modoc Nation who were forced to relocate to Oklahoma. We encourage you to learn about the land you reside on and to join us in advocating for the inherent sovereignty of Indigenous people.
