John Castronova, Student Commentary EIC, sent me this list of the rising 2L students who will be the Journal of Legal Medicine staff members for 2006–07:
Student editors for 2006-07, announced in March, include :
Professor James Duggan, Associate Director of the SIU Law Library, has been nominated for the position of Vice President/President-Elect of the American Association of Law Libraries. If elected this fall, he will serve as Vice President of AALL July 2007–July 2008 and President July 2008–July 2009. He previously served as a member of the Executive Board in 2001–2004.
Law for the Layperson: An Annotated Bibliography of Self-help Law Books, the 400+ page book on which Amber Hewette and I labored for so long, is finally available from Hein and Amazon. We review nearly 1,000 self-help books and other resources, and classify them by topic and jurisdiction. We hope this book will help nonlawyers find the information they need and help librarians serve their pro se patrons.
Because of space limitations, we were unable to include more than a few web resources, but there are many good ones out there. I have linked to a few of the best from the SIU Law Library's Self-Help and Referral Sites, but a complete collection will have to wait for another time. In the meantime, I will add good self-help legal sites when I can.
The shelves shown above show just some of the self-help books included in Law for the Layperson.
Update 7/27: I just learned that, although our book is available for ordering, the publisher won't be shipping until "later next month."
