Faculty Library Research Assistant Program

Main Content

Suspended Until Fall 2021

Connecting faculty with library research assistants for short-term research projects

All Law faculty may request the services of law students who are hired, trained and supervised by the reference librarians. We assign library RAs to work on your projects based upon their areas of interest and availability. Qualifying projects must be fewer than 20 hours of work and primarily legal in nature. If you have questions about the Library RA program or whether a library RA might be appropriate for your project, please contact Rachel Gordon.
