With Washington and Lee's new practice oriented 3rd year the library's collection may need to shift some of its focus. Just speculating here, but if we were to create a law firm library as a sub-set of our library does anybody have any thoughts on what a multiple practice area law firm's ideal print library would look like? Could we do without cases assuming they'll be looked at online? Federal and Virginia statutes and regulations, along with jury instructions, Am.Jur, Proof of Facts, evidence manuals, etc. Does anyone have a list of print material that law firm researchers really use (or would use if the firm library had the money and space to keep it), or know of an article anywhere that discusses this? No need to clutter the law-lib list unless you think it's of general interest but I'd be glad any way to hear from you with suggestions.
