Overview

The field of law librarianship and specialized legal research is growing at a rapid pace. The number of law firm and corporate placements for lawyer-librarians is increasing, and many law schools now have a number of dual-degree law librarians who teach legal research and writing, teach computer-assisted legal research, and perform specialized reference work. The purpose of the University of Wisconsin Dual Degree Program is to provide students the knowledge and skills necessary to practice librarianship and to provide information services in the legal arena, at a highly professional level in a diverse, technological and global society.
