This article addresses the issues faced by instructors of courses in advanced legal research. Everyone teaching in this area must have a strategy for organizing the subject matter, drafting problems and assignments, constructing a syllabus, and planning and delivering a course designed to meet its stated goals. Most importantly, the instructor must give serious thought to the desired outcomes at which he or she aims. In this article, Professor Knott has categorized outcome targets into three levels: competency, fluency, and mastery. The instructor's decisions about desired outcomes will have implications for all aspects of course design and delivery. The article identifies and discusses these issues and provides a framework instructors can use when designing their own courses. Attached as appendices are specific examples of many of the kinds of materials discussed in the article, all drawn from material prepared for use in the author's advanced legal research classes.
