MILITARY AND FAMILY LAW: Military law is heating up especially for us law librarians. The latest issue of ABA’s “Family Advocate” devotes almost the whole issue to The Military Divorce, plus some very useful new Bankruptcy Act information. I was looking at it and one of my regular attorneys practically snatched it out of my hand. It had an article on a subject he was researching that very moment here in my law library. A nice aha moment for me.

This is a new blog from an extremely new blogger who also happens to be an Oregon public law librarian with the usual law librarian urge to share what she knows about legal research. Posting will be sporadic until I get into the flow of blogging. Advice, comments, and encouragement are always welcome. It is now time for me to figure out how to add links.
