My name is Brian Detweiler and I am the Associate Director of the Charles B. Sears Law Library here at UB. I am writing to let you know about some training you will be required to complete in preparation for your Legal Analysis, Writing and Research (LAWR) class through a company called Procertas. You should be receiving an email from them shortly at your UB email address, if you have not already, with details about activating your account. If you do not hear anything in this regard by COB on Tuesday, August 10th, please email me at briandet@buffalo.edu and I will make sure you receive an invite.
Your LAWR Professors are asking you all to complete the Word Brief, Word Contract, and Word Memo Trainer Modules prior to the start of Orientation. They are available here: https://ltaweb.azurewebsites.net/Incidents/Index. Please note: You are more than welcome to complete the Word Assessments as well as the other modules on Excel, PowerPoint, and PDFs, but only the three Word Trainer Modules are required. FYI, I would recommend spending a minute or two to complete the Tutorial first so you will know how to download and upload documents before you begin.
**Mac users, if you need to change the operating system, please click on the Settings option that appears when you hover your cursor over your email address in the top right corner of the Modules page**
I am looking forward to meeting you all in a couple of weeks! If you have any questions about the training or the Law Library in the meantime, please do not hesitate to reach out.
All the best,
Brian
