Her latest publication is a chapter on researching Indiana law before statehood which will be forthcoming in 2003 as part of a two volume work on prestatehood legal research in the United States.

 

"The law librarians at Valpo Law take pride in teaching our students how to efficiently and effectively research legal problems both in paper resources and on line. Every Fall we have returning students who clerked over the summer tell us how much better they know how to research than their colleagues from other law schools."
