How did the expectation that the law librarian would have a J.D. develop?

Are law librarians bonded to the legal profession or serving in bondage?

Our history1906 - New York State Library School – lectures on law books/organization of law libraries
1910-1926 - New York State Library School – formal program for those who had studied law
1937-1961 – Columbia School of Library Service – legal bibliography (no formal legal training necessary) (for six weeks during alternate summers)
1939 – University of Washington – masters in law librarianship – must have J.D.) (program initially led to Bachelor’s)
1935 – AALL Executive Board: legal education = “essential”; library education = “desirable”
1937 – AALS recommended that by 1940, member schools have “qualified librarian” devoted to library service (rather than rotating clerks/students)

Our history
1953 AALL meeting – suggestion of 1 yr. library sch., 1 yr. law sch., and 1 yr. of electives from both – rejected!
1964 – AALL rotating institutes for librarians with little formal training
1965 – AALL certification program, ended in 1983 b/c of potential conflict with AALL’s tax-exempt status
1952 – AALS: the law librarian should “have a sound knowledge of the practical problems of a law school library, or a legal education, and preferably both.” AALS also recommends faculty status.
1971 – AALS required that member schools’ librarian be dual-degreed
1958-1962 – several universities instituted library programs or courses with emphasis on law librarianship (UNC, Case Western, U of Ill, Drexel)

“So, to qualify for almost any professional position in a law library, you must have an MLS or its equivalent.
You may want to consider also earning a law degree.
Armed with both JD and MLS degrees, you will be qualified for additional professional positions in law librarianship.”

Why should law librarians care about establishing educational requirements for their
profession?Money – it’s a matter of equity
Establish law librarianship as a real profession
R. Tawney, in The Acquisitive Society (quoted by Christine Brock in
1974’s Law Libraries and Librarians: A Revisionist History; or More Than You
Ever Wanted to Know):
“The essence of a profession is that it assumes
certain responsibilities for the competence of
its members.” Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, (quoted by Julius Marke in 1957’s The
Education of a Law Librarian – A Panel):
“Every calling is great when greatly pursued.”

Changes in Society/Changes in Profession
• More people attending college • Increasing level of educational requirements • More technology (and its impact) • Fewer questions – more in-depth questions• More inter/multi-disciplinarian • Change in the nature of (law) librarianship
