The Law Library at the University of Virginia is going to try hosting a 1/2
day workshop for law students who will be Summer Associates with law firms.
We have not done this before but realize that others have and want to
steal as much from you as possible.
I have two questions/requests for help:
1) Law firm librarians - What can we do to send you better prepared Summer
Associates? We've already scheduled a law firm librarian to speak at our
session. Having already heard her talk on this subject I know she will do
a good job of giving them an idea of what they can expect and how to work
well with the library staff, etc.
What else should we cover or, at least, touch on? Pet peeves with Summer
Associates? Something one of your Summer Associates did that made sense,
but no one had done before? Simple things they could do that would make
their life easier? Obvious stuff they should know but just don't seem to?
Any and all suggestions would be appreciated.
2) Law School Librarians - I'd love to see what other law school
libraries have done to help prepare their students who will be Summer
Associates. I've got information from Wake Forest University and have
looked around the on the web a bit. If you've got any handouts, web sites,
schedules, ideas, etc. please send them to me.
Attachments to email are fine. As is postal mail.
Thank you for your help.
