Thanks for the link. As an MSLS with a JD, I agree with both the tone of
the article and the advice. Law firms really do offer good opportunities
and provide another option to employment in a law school library.

Subject: Should JDs become law librarians?
I thought the members of this listserv would be interested in the following
column posted today on NYLawyer.com:
Alternative Careers
Every Tuesday, consultant and former practicing lawyer Doug Richardson
answers your questions about how to move from private practice to a
corporation, government job or non-profit, or how to leave the law entirely.
Today's question: Is becoming a law librarian a bad career move for a JD
with huge loans?

And if you disagree with his advice, please flame Doug, not me!
