Karen:
I think that any program that involves legal education in some form is
useful for a law librarian. A good paralegal program will teach about the
basic areas of law, contain an introduction to legal materials and legal
research, and involve some development of critical thinking an writing
skills. These all can help a law librarian do his or her job better.
