Using The “Scholarship As Conversation” Frame To Explain The Importance Of Inclusive Citation, Olivia Smith Schlinck Mar 2022

Using The “Scholarship As Conversation” Frame To Explain The Importance Of Inclusive Citation, Olivia Smith Schlinck

Library Staff Online Writings

It’s been nearly two years since the largest civil rights movement – the protests stemming from the murder of George Floyd by a police officer – swept the United States. That means it has also been nearly two years since law schools across the country released statements and created taskforces and enacted initiatives to inject principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) into the school halls.


On The Academic Librarian Pay Disparity, Olivia Smith Schlinck Mar 2022

On The Academic Librarian Pay Disparity, Olivia Smith Schlinck

Library Staff Online Writings

Last month, I posted to this blog the results of my study comparing the salaries of tenure-track law professors and law librarians who teach required, credit-bearing classes. The reaction was overwhelming; clearly, the proof that law librarians were underpaid – something many librarians had assumed for many years – hit a chord within the profession. Librarians across the country contacted me publicly and privately to express their shock (or lack thereof), their frustration, their personal anecdotes about being underpaid and struggling to make ends meet. Eventually, this culminated in an event hosted by the AALL Research Crits Caucus on Monday, …


Academic Law Librarians Are Paid 47% Less Than Their Faculty Counterparts, Olivia Smith Schlinck Feb 2022

Academic Law Librarians Are Paid 47% Less Than Their Faculty Counterparts, Olivia Smith Schlinck

Library Staff Online Writings

In December Joe Fore, the co-director of the Legal Writing program at the University of Virginia School of Law, posted to Twitter a thread comparing tenure track and legal writing salaries. In comparing four public schools, he discovered that the average starting salary for a tenure track professor was $173,000 while the average salary for all legal writing faculty was $111,000. A few academic law librarians saw the tweet and replied that someone should do the same for law librarians, too.

Dare To Dream: How Would You Teach 1ls Legal Research With No Restrictions?, Olivia Smith Schlinck Nov 2021

Dare To Dream: How Would You Teach 1ls Legal Research With No Restrictions?, Olivia Smith Schlinck

Library Staff Online Writings

When I started in my current role as an instructional librarian, I was given space to make the changes I thought necessary to improve an already-changing legal research program. I’ve made changes – some small, some more major – in both the 1L and upper-level research curriculum, but there is more to do. In particular, I’m not entirely satisfied with how we teach legal research to 1Ls.


Law Students, Covid-19, And Big Feelings, Olivia Smith Schlinck Sep 2021

Law Students, Covid-19, And Big Feelings, Olivia Smith Schlinck

Library Staff Online Writings

It’s Fall 2021 and well . . . we’re back. Or rather – some of us are. Along with a patchwork of universities requiring vaccinations and/or masks for students comes a patchwork of modes of instruction: fully online, hybrid, fully in-person (and subject to change). Some employees have shifted to occasional work-from-home models while others are required to be in-person every day. It’s all very complicated. Honestly, right now everything is complicated. With big, complicated situations come big, complicated feelings, and our students’ feelings are certainly that: big.

Measuring Selection Bias In Publicly Available Judicial Opinions, Alexander A. Reinert Jan 2019

Measuring Selection Bias In Publicly Available Judicial Opinions, Alexander A. Reinert

Articles

To have an informed discussion about judicial performance and efficiency, we will sometimes want to explore what judges actually do on an everyday level. But in many ways, courts have not always been paragons of transparency. Often the parties are the only people who are aware of what action a court has taken in a case.

This paper explores that dynamic, in the context of decisions made by federal trial courts at one particular procedural stage--decisions made on motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim--Rule 12(b)(6) motions. There is growing interest in the work of federal trial courts, …

The Merger Of Law And Mediation: Lessons From Equity Jurisprudence And Roscoe Pound, Jacqueline M. Nolan-Haley Jan 2004

The Merger Of Law And Mediation: Lessons From Equity Jurisprudence And Roscoe Pound, Jacqueline M. Nolan-Haley

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

Almost one hundred years ago, Roscoe Pound' warned about the decline of equity jurisprudence in the American legal system. He called this phenomenon the "decadence of equity."' Though Pound offered several causes for this decline, what we know today as "institutionalization" in the court system was the primary suspect. "The very thing that made equity a system must, in the end, prove fatal to it. In the very act of becoming a system, it becomes legalized, and in becoming merely a competing system of law insures its ultimate downfall." While Pound acknowledged that he saw some good from the "refinements" …
