Alexander Campbell King Law Library Strategic Plan, 2016-2017, University Of Georgia Law Library Jan 2016

Alexander Campbell King Law Library Strategic Plan, 2016-2017, University Of Georgia Law Library

Strategic Plan Documents

Shorter and simpler than the two previous iterations, the University of Georgia Law Library's 2016-2017 strategic plan is a single page. It includes elements from the last version such as mission, vision and values. It still includes goals, but limits them to three and trims the text of each into straight-forward bullet-list objectives including: 1. Services, 2. Resources, and 3. Expertise. This year was also the first that the law library created a counter-part infographic version of their strategic plan. It is attached below as an additional document.

A Modest Proposal For Expediting Manuscript Selection At Less Prestigious Law Reviews, Joseph S. Miller Jan 2016

A Modest Proposal For Expediting Manuscript Selection At Less Prestigious Law Reviews, Joseph S. Miller

Scholarly Works

The matching market in unsolicited manuscripts, submitted to general law reviews, suffers from far too much wasted student effort. This is especially so among the less prestigious law review staffs, which scramble to read submissions they cannot land in the misguided belief they owe authors serious scholarly engagement with the drafts they submit.
