Today I learnt that BIALL has published its Legal Information Literacy Statement.
The Statement was devised by a Working Group comprised of law librarians from different sectors, following a period of consultation by BIALL members. It sets out legal information literacy standards, applicable to all sectors of law librarianship in the UK, that can be used when designing legal research training.
Ruth Bird, Chair of the BIALL Working Group on Legal Information Literacy explains on the BIALL website that the Statement "aims to enable law students, at both the academic and vocational stage of training, to develop comprehensive legal research skills following a five stage model. Each of the five stages is expanded into separate competency based learning outcomes. These competency based learning outcomes are derived from the legal research learning outcomes as specified by the following UK legal professional bodies – the SRA (Solicitors Regulation Authority), the BSB (Bar Standards Board) & ILEX (Institute of Legal Executives)."
The Statement can be accessed from the BIALL website:
