One Person\u27s Junk, Another Person\u27s Treasures: Dissolving a Small Law Book Collection

Decisions to eliminate a book collection occur for various reasons, including retirement, downsizing a home library, or a sweet deal from an online vendor. Law librarians regularly receive inquiries about the purchase or donation of used law books. Many times these calls originate in a law school’s development office after an attorney school seeks his or her law school’s advice on eliminating a significant career investment. An attorney may turn to a law firm librarian for advice as well

Chapter 9: Fastcase

In February 2005, the Virginia State Bar (VSB) Council approved plans to offer all Virginia lawyers free access to an online legal research program through a portal on the VSB\u27s website. Then-Chief Justice Leroy Rountree Hassell, Sr., considered access to an online research tool a high priority for Virginia attorneys and urged the VSB to provide this kind of service. On June 13, 2005, the Virginia Supreme Court adopted a formal Rule of Court directing the VSB to contract to provide online computerized legal resea1·ch services to its members. 1 In February 2006, the VSB gave its notice of intent to award a contract to Fastcase, which is headquartered in Washington, D.C. Twenty-four other bar associations provide Fastcase to their members. Other specialty groups, such as the Cincinnati Law Library, the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys, and the Social Law Library network in Boston, offer Fastcase access as well. State technology experts at www.virginia.gov worked with the VSB to set up a secure, members-only, sign-in procedure for access to Fastcase on the website. This sign-in method will allow possible future access to other online member services
