Researching Legal Documents
Workshop Description:
Wonder whether an employer has been sued or prosecuted, and for what? Need to look up whether there’s a federal, state, or local law that exists or a measure that’s pending related to your campaign? Learn how to find employer litigation and prosecution history, as well as existing law, legislative history, and currently pending bills (with summaries and vote histories) through a mix of paid and free databases.
