Reaching out to practicing attorneys and law fi rm librarians can help legal research instructors make their teaching more relevant and meaningful for students. This program will explore three of these outreach efforts: Brigham Young University’s “Practitioners’ Council,” in which law librarians meet with a group of practicing attorneys to discuss legal research, Yale Law School’s tradition of inviting law firm librarians to guest lecture in legal research classes, and a Georgetown law librarian’s survey and subsequent study comparing the opinions of academic and practitioner law librarians regarding essential legal research skills and materials.
