Law librarian but for a University without a law library. They wanted a practicing lawyer to bring their top pre-law students up to speed for law school entrance at elite law schools or at least good ones. My stuff was fighting the powers that be in librarianship for practical materials of use for survivors/victims of crimes. I found next to NOTHING when I was trying to help my fellow Earl Wooster High students cope with the 2-24-1976 murder of our then English teacher's daughter Michelle Mitchell near the University of Nevada, Reno. 2-24 is my birthday. They did not have much for victims/survivors of crimes at UTEP that I saw in 2001. Their law library was quite minimal. They did hire that practicing lawyer though who also would help the prospective law students with their legal research skills.
I found very little for survivors/victims of crimes in libraries all over the US I checked from 1976 onward. Kind of a pet project of mine while thinking of my fellow Earl Wooster High School students. The 2-24-1976 murder was not "solved" until 1979 and then incorrectly as the police and the lawyers in charge really wanted closure of the highly publicized murder.
Somebody was really helping me though in TX is 2001. He/she pulled some strings to get me an interview.
