So you want to be a law librarian...

You're in law school and intend to complete your J.D., but are not so sure you want to practice law.  You're not alone.  If you're considering alternative careers, give some thought to law librarianship!  Just ask one of the several librarians here at Zief who have made the switch and have no regrets!

Anyway, if you're even remotely considering getting a Master's degree in Library & Information Science (required for most professional law librarian jobs), check out the University of Arizona's Law Library Fellowship program.  It's open to anyone with a law degree, and recipients get FREE tuition at Arizona's School of Information Resources and Library Science as well as a part-time job at the University of Arizona School of Law Library while working on their MLIS.  It's great experience to list on your resume, plus you can pay the bills.
