There is no easy answer to this question. It all depends on the size and
type of practice whether it be a litigation or transactional practice or
an AM LAW 50 international securities or local real estate practice in
the same small rural county.

Subject: [LAW-LIB:58841] ideal law firm print library
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.
