Westlaw Student Representative

Jodie Cheetham

Hi everyone! My name is Jodie and I am a third year law student. I run workshop and drop in sessions in the Law Sociology building every Thursday in LMB/020 at 16:30 to 18:30 to help students, particularly first years, refine their skills when researching on Westlaw. If you are struggling with your legal research or want to gain further skills, please get in touch: jc3717@york.ac.uk.
