Abstract:

In the academic law library hiring process, candidates are assessed based on a variety of factors. The study conducted here focuses on education - specifically the institutional rank of degree-granting law and library science institutions - to explore how the rank of one's graduate education might influence hiring decisions at academic law libraries.
