Lawyer in the Library: A Conversation with Avery Le
Avery Le, Director of the Homer M. Stark Law Library, on the importance of AI in classrooms:
“I remember spending a lot of time on creating homework assignments and exercises and coming up with new hypotheticals. I think AI would be really helpful for that. We wouldn’t have to spend our time spinning our wheels trying to come up with new creative ideas.”

Embracing Change: The Law Librarian’s Journey
Zanada Joyner, Associate Director for Collections and Information Discovery at Francis King Carey School of Law at the University of Maryland, on providing access:
“The spirit here is definitely access and as much access as we can provide. That is consistent with the mission, the values, the priorities of the university and the university system, understanding that those are not always compatible with what librarians want to do.”
