Hummm...but the definition of a "lawyer" does not necessarily mean some one
who has a law degree. Guam, like California and other states formerly
allowed bar examination eligibility to applicants who completed law office
study ("proctorship") programs. Therefore, according to Brian's rule the
definition of "law librarian" is pretty simple - someone who has a Masters in
Library Science and a law degree (LLB, JD etc.) OR has completed law office
study in a jurisdiction recoginzing programs...phew.
Also when I received my M.L.S it was from the school of librarianship at
U.C. Berkeley - now it is the School of Information Management ane Systems
and I don't think the M.L.S. degree is awarded anymore
This is getting too complicated for me - I'm going back out to lie under a
coconut tree. To simplify life, I've decided just to call people what they
prefer to be called, e.g. Black/African-American; Ms./Miss/Mrs.;
actor/actress; librarian/cybrarian; etc.

The above are my opinions only - but probably should be everyone's.
