"The Vape Shop" is a legal research exercise designed to facilitate students' use of open access (Legislative Information Management System (LIMS) and Montgomery County and American Legal Publishing's Code Library) and subscription databases (Westlaw and Lexis+) and their analysis of a legal research problem. For this exercise, the applicable frame from the Framework for Information Literacy is "searching as strategic exploration" (however, "research as inquiry" and "information creation as a process" are also applicable frames). While this exercise calls attention to county ordinances that are available in open access databases, state and federal law are also listed as sources of interest. In addition to searching in more sources than what are listed under "Sources:" (and finding these sources on their own), students should note how federal, state, and county law apply to the questions asked and that in some cases federal law preempts state and county law.
