Sorry Tal..I do know you don't need a law degree to work in the library..I did misunderstand..

Thanks for the information on your friend.. :bigthumbsup:
I do have a law degree just not a current law license. Do have a MA in Librarianship and Information Management as well.

Many law librarians move around a lot too so they would need legal licenses in many states to really give out legal advice after they have changed states.

I went to BYU Law School on a Merit Scholarship as a non-Mormon in 1982. Did not like doing the law work that much so I dropped out to get a MA in Librarianship at Denver U which I got in 1984. Went to the U of MN Law School in 1986 to hopefully become a law librarian and do something from within the law librarianship profession for survivors of crimes but pushed this cause too hard in February through June of 1991 and found all the doors shut to this profession by August of 1991. Tried to do what I could for victims/survivors after that with what resources I had.
