The Gallagher Law Library is here to help! </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">In honor of National Library Week, the Gallagher
Law Library created a new legal career guide, “</span><a href="https://guides.lib.uw.edu/legedu"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Where Will Your Legal Education Take You?</span></a><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">” This guide is designed to help law students, prospective
law students, or those who would like a change in their career to explore over
30 different careers one could take after completing a law degree and links
resources for future research into each of these careers. The guide also
discusses graduate degrees that the University of Washington School of Law
offers, which are mentioned on the career pages that they are most relevant to
(a comprehensive list of UW Law’s graduate degrees can be found </span><a href="https://www.law.uw.edu/academics"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">here</span></a><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">). For many of the
careers, we have also highlighted UW Law faculty who have experience working in
relevant areas of law.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">Don’t know where to start? Take our very short,
interactive quiz (2-3 minutes) which will lead you to one of the career options
for law school graduates. We encourage you to take it several times to see how
your interests lead you to a different legal career path!</span></p>

Part of what has kept it useful is the editors' ongoing work to keep it up to date (or as up to date as you can keep such a large, complex system).<br /></p><p>Some of the changes have responded to changes in technology. When the original outline was created, there wasn't a need for Automobiles (Topic 48A) or Aviation (Topic 48B). </p><p>Some of the changes have reflected societal changes. Topic 223, Intoxicating Liquors, is more palatable (or potable) than the old Drunkards Topic. </p><p>And some changes reflect developments in the law. Maybe the editors find that they've been shoehorning so many headnotes into one Key Number that it should be subdivided. Or maybe the Topic's entire outline needs to be rethought.</p><p>I just saw an announcement that the editors (the company calls them "attorney-editors," to emphasize that they have legal training) have reworked Evidence (Topic 157), and created an entirely new outline. (The announcement was in Thomson Reuters's <i>Information Management Consultant Newsletter—</i>that's a fancy way of saying "Update for Librarians.")</p><p>The Key Number editors <i>could</i> have said: "We used to put Evidence
into Key Numbers 1-601. Starting now, we'll put <i>new</i> cases into Key
Numbers 701-3067. You researchers, you have to look in two places. Deal with it." But they didn't do that. Instead, they went back through all the headnotes about Evidence in all of U.S. caselaw and reclassified approximately 490,000 headnotes. One Key Number will bring together cases from 1822, 1922, and last week.<br /></p><p>I'm sure that the editors had a lot more on their minds than just changing technology, but here's one change inspired by tech: there's now a headnote for <b>hearsay issues with respect to emails, text messages, and social media posts</b> (that's 157k1216, if you want to run a search). A while ago, those cases would have been classified in Key Number 318(2), "Writings--Letters and telegrams." </p><p></p><p>When you search for Key Numbers in Westlaw, you can still use the old numbers. For example, when I searched for 157k318(2) (the old number), I retrieved headnotes with Key Numbers in the new scheme, parenthetically noting the former number. </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhMAVvhxTf_c73YYDFsdlW8IPXaVepaWS5QjmeZKJJbeTIlRuvQZFQPs-a3KLBYuiFOWd1G61vcjCazkWs9HNhkS00CbnIOVjBsL8cG9ooW51Z70qOUIwPzbX0YkU5SicHz6vUzlpc5Q4tmLSRhgvm2FzEjDrrXZHy4eWJXy3k5IUciqCLZY6oBuPb0pg=s353" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Screen snip shows where headnote falls in outline: 157 Evidence, 157IXk1571X Writings and Other Documentary Evidence, 157IX(A)k157IX(A) In General (1-683 to 1-780), 157k1213 Hearsay Issues in General, 157k1216 Emails, text messages, and social media posts.

Judge Jackson would be only the third African American to serve on the Court (after Justices Thurgood Marshall and Clarence Thomas) and the sixth woman (after Justices Sandra Day O'Connor, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, and Amy Coney Barrett). And she would become the first Justice who is <i>both</i> African American and a woman. </p><p>This seems like a good time to bring up one of my favorite web resources: the <a href="https://www.fjc.gov">Federal Judicial Center</a>'s <a href="https://www.fjc.gov/history/judges">Biographical Directory of Article III Judges 1789-Present</a>. </p><p>This database makes it easy to find out about any Article III judge in history, not just the headliners on the marquee.

There has been a significant increase in government positions, with minority group lawyers serving in the offices of city attorneys, federal district attorneys and agencies of all kinds. Black judges sit on federal, state and municipal benches. In 1970 there were 3,845 black lawyers and 214 black judges. By contrast
in the 1971-72 academic year, there were 3,732 Blacks, 881 Chicanos,

Cordell, the first African American woman to sit on the Superior Court
of Northern California, knows firsthand how prejudice has permeated our
legal system. And yet, she believes in the system. From ending school
segregation to legalizing same-sex marriage, its progress relies on
legal professionals and jurors who strive to make the imperfect system
as fair as possible. Cordell takes you into her chambers where she
haggles with prosecutors and defense attorneys and into the courtroom
during jury selection and sentencing hearings. She uses real cases to
highlight how judges make difficult decisions, all the while facing
outside pressures from the media, law enforcement, lobbyists, and the
friends and families of the people involved.--Provided by publisher.</span></div></div></div></div><p> </p><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhLO15Xa_H67EnpBGRIlICcfnrxSC_S9rzAFsWXi7P6TEVhkyxAT1-mPPnBh92owEUEKVgTbM9z6jCacd5hE9hplVMxKOSWqMDppqFDZCGXzRSACy177RVEEX4TG0EcCgwPemzNoX1lVPb6M8d1ypOgEWbxzaVbQmbLK8yBOBvPEHuGgcBxFHOCXLXPVg=s500" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="331" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhLO15Xa_H67EnpBGRIlICcfnrxSC_S9rzAFsWXi7P6TEVhkyxAT1-mPPnBh92owEUEKVgTbM9z6jCacd5hE9hplVMxKOSWqMDppqFDZCGXzRSACy177RVEEX4TG0EcCgwPemzNoX1lVPb6M8d1ypOgEWbxzaVbQmbLK8yBOBvPEHuGgcBxFHOCXLXPVg=s320" width="212" /></a></div><span style="font-size: large;">Tomiko Brown-Nagin, <a href="https://alliance-primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/f/kjtuig/CP71372960810001451"><i>Civil Rights Queen: Constance Baker Motley and the Struggle for Equality</i></a> (2022) (ebook)<br /></span><p></p><p><i>See </i> Karen Grigsby Bates, <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2022/02/03/248994291/the-life-of-a-civil-rights-queen">The Life of a 'Civil Rights Queen'</a>, NPR (Feb. 3, 2022)</p><p><br /></p><br /><p><br /></p>Mary Whisnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06780343632178750011noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906168261208546693.post-70191059176774814332022-02-02T13:43:00.001-08:002022-02-10T10:56:14.821-08:00Documentary Explores Race & Education, Right Here in Seattle—@4racialequity<p>Whether you grew up here or just moved here for law school, you'll learn a lot about race in Seattle by watching the new documentary, <a href="https://rhs4racialequity.org/roosevelt-high-school-beyond-black-white/">Roosevelt High School: Beyond Black and White</a>. </p><p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiswdIoaJBIfIvdEU6p7rul4QSZUttazvjCmSmAeNFGJycERavU9RIGSeocfQ1pidNnldeA7sMrkWjqv9s-HG9jcUxupX_k7YUC_ca97xAGkPccdHbHTOMcZ9xe3F4BZrC-DGUvVAOI5N6x7Sa5RWsErXh0mnXWcCiH7UQsIw9u3XVIRN3ERr8QpdTi8Q=s1024" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="composite of images from documentary - people, buildings.

In the 1960s, it was almost entirely white, because of residential segregation shaped by redlining and other factors. See <a href="http://depts.washington.edu/civilr/segregated.htm">Segregated Seattle</a>, by the Seattle Civil Rights & Labor History Project. </p><p>In the late 1960s, the Seattle Busing Voluntary Racial Transfer
Program (VRT) brought a few dozen students of color to Roosevelt. Fifty
years later, as protestors went to the streets over police treatment of
Black Americans (as well as other inequities), some members of the class of '71, of different races,
began talking (over Zoom) about their experience and their city. Why
were so many issues the same as decades ago? </p><p>They formed a group, <a href="https://rhs4racialequity.org/about-rare/">Roosevelt Alumni for Racial Equity</a> (RARE), which has grown beyond Roosevelt and beyond alumni.</p>This week, RARE premiered a half-hour documentary, <a href="https://rhs4racialequity.org/roosevelt-high-school-beyond-black-white/">Roosevelt High School: Beyond Black and White</a>
(31:00), which looks at race and education. It is thoughtful and
thought-provoking. It includes interviews with alumni from that first
group of busing students, as well as students, teachers, and
administrators from today. One of the key people behind the film is UW
Law<a href="https://www.law.uw.edu/directory/emeritus-faculty/vaughn-lea-b"> Professor Emeritus Lea Vaughn</a>, a member of that RHS class of '71. <p>To explore racial patterns today, visit the<a href="https://seattlecitygis.maps.arcgis.com"> 2010 and 2020 Census Map Viewer for Seattle and the Region</a>. The interface lets you create different views of the city. For example, here is a map showing the racial make-up of Seattle. The area north of the UW is almost all light blue––the code representing people who identify as White. East of downtown and moving south, magenta dots represent Black or African American (not Hispanic or Latino) residents. And the green in the university district and south end represents Asian (not Hispanic or Latino).<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgAGeqHpLDILSBuM8yHtjckxuKNbXR1zo4qnIlTJmaPA_QkbXl40pSM2I8ylT5CjxPsUzACp0kGp9R-X_ohCaOORFPJhvz-1bmUXxkGKBQ9MqC6VUIk3ll27tAH8Pz-Ap_NDJ_QPZuNHd36GpBtinD-Lo_rvTWNNlc0F74ycb5JVwdUk7czfmjO_s6Jag=s440" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="map of Seattle area with colors indicating race" border="0" data-original-height="440" data-original-width="304" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgAGeqHpLDILSBuM8yHtjckxuKNbXR1zo4qnIlTJmaPA_QkbXl40pSM2I8ylT5CjxPsUzACp0kGp9R-X_ohCaOORFPJhvz-1bmUXxkGKBQ9MqC6VUIk3ll27tAH8Pz-Ap_NDJ_QPZuNHd36GpBtinD-Lo_rvTWNNlc0F74ycb5JVwdUk7czfmjO_s6Jag=w276-h400" width="276" /></a></div><p></p><p>Seattle is not as segregated as it was in the 1960s, but it clearly has neighborhoods that are largely one race or another. In 2010, a <i>Seattle Times</i> analysis ranked US cities by percentage of White residents, and Seattle was fifth. Now Seattle has diversified a tiny bit (our city is now sixth) and it is diversifying at a faster rate than many other cities.

But There's Good News: Libraries Provide Access!<p>Some of you find great stuff out on the web. And then you're frustrated because the publisher's paywall cuts you off from full access. That <i>is</i> disappointing, isn't it?</p><p>But wait a minute. Libraries subscribe to lots of databases to provide you with access to zillions of magazines and newspapers. We made a video explaining how you can find magazines and journals through the University Libraries:</p><p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="200" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jjTayPSTKQE" title="YouTube video player" width="320"></iframe> </p><p>Retrieving Magazine Articles: Tips for Source Gathering</p><p> </p><p>While searching the web can turn up lots of great stuff, you might also consider starting with a database with advanced search features and links to the full articles. If you're looking for articles from say, psychology or sociology, using PsycInfo or Sociological Abstracts will focus your search much better than Google, Bing, or any other search engine. </p><p>To get to those specialized databases, start with the University Libraries <a href="https://guides.lib.uw.edu/az.php">A-Z Databases list</a>. If you don't know which databases might be useful, take a look at the terrific <a href="https://guides.lib.uw.edu/research">Research Guides</a> prepared by the University Libraries' subject specialists. If you don't know where to start for computer science or East Asian studies, those guides will get you going. (If you're looking for legal topics, remember the <a href="https://guides.lib.uw.edu/law/guides">Gallagher Law Library guides</a>!)</p><p>Here's a tip for Google Scholar. You can set your preferences so it automatically connects you to sources licensed by the University Libraries. See <a href="http://gallagherlawlibrary.blogspot.com/search/label/Google%20Scholar">these blog posts</a>, with illustrations.</p><p>PS If you're reading this post and you aren't affiliated with the UW, check out what's available from your local public library. They also subscribe to databases!<br /></p>Mary Whisnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06780343632178750011noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906168261208546693.post-5442821994941356152022-01-05T13:37:00.004-08:002022-01-06T09:26:45.644-08:00Research Tribal Court Caselaw<p>Most legal scholarship focuses on federal and state law, with perhaps a quick nod to local government law. But what about the law of the 574 federally recognized tribal governments? </p><p><a href="https://law.stanford.edu/directory/elizabeth-a-reese/">Prof. Elizabeth A. Reese</a> (Stanford Law) makes a persuasive plea for moving tribal law into the mainstream of American legal study in <a href="https://review.law.stanford.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2021/03/Reese-73-Stan.-L.-Rev.-555.pdf"><i>The Other American Law</i></a>, 73 Stan. L. Rev. 555 (2021). </p><p>UW Law has been taking tribal law seriously for a long time, notably through the work of the <a href="https://www.law.uw.edu/academics/experiential-learning/clinics/tribal-court/information-for-students">Tribal Court Public Defense Clinic</a> and the <a href="https://www.law.uw.edu/academics/programs/native-american-law-center">Native American Law Center</a>. </p><p>But how are you going to study tribal law (or anything else?) if you can't find it? That's where your library can help. We have a research guide on <a href="https://guides.lib.uw.edu/law/indian-tribal">Indian & Tribal Law</a>.

For example, the <a href="https://www.law.uw.edu/wlr/news/acknowledgment-of-coast-salish-peoples-original-land-ownership"><i>Washington Law Review</i></a> states<blockquote><i>Washington Law Review (WLR</i>) acknowledges
the Coast Salish peoples’ original ownership of the land on which the
University of Washington sits, the traditional territory of all tribes
and bands within the Suquamish, Tulalip, Duwamish, and Muckleshoot
nations. <i>WLR</i> further acknowledges the state’s continuing obligation to fulfill promises made in the Treaty of Point Elliott.</blockquote><p>The editors consulted with former <a href="https://www.law.uw.edu/directory/emeritus-faculty/anderson-robert">Professor Emeritus Robert Anderson</a>, then Director of UW Law's <a href="https://www.law.uw.edu/academics/programs/native-american-law-center">Native American Law Center</a>, in crafting the statement. Anderson was <a href="https://www.congress.gov/nomination/117th-congress/265">recently confirmed</a> to be Solicitor of the United States Department of the Interior (although his <a href="https://www.doi.gov/robert-anderson">agency profile</a> still lists him as Principal Deputy Solicitor). (Other agency work might be higher priority than updating web profiles. Browse recent <a href="https://www.doi.gov/news">press releases</a> to learn more about Interior's activities.)<br /></p><p>Land acknowledgments can be controversial. In some cases, they might seem like mere lip service. Or they might give the mistaken impression that the indigenous people who once occupied the land are simply part of a mythic past. <a href="https://theconversation.com/land-acknowledgments-meant-to-honor-indigenous-people-too-often-do-the-opposite-erasing-american-indians-and-sanitizing-history-instead-163787">This essay</a> by three anthropologists 2021 explores the topic (The Conversation, Oct. 7). </p><p>Would you like to learn more about treaties with local tribes, federal Indian law, and tribal law?

If you just use Google or another search engine, you might all sorts of stuff—newspaper articles, personal blogs, etc., in addition to law firm documents. Instead, try the <a href="https://lawfirmsearchengine.com/" target="_blank">Law Firm Search Engine</a>, which uses a custom Google search to focus on law firm sites.</p><a href="https://lawfirmsearchengine.com/"></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lawfirmsearchengine.com/"></a><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1R_-qmaTRH8/YV90opi0DwI/AAAAAAAADgQ/wEZgCQN9nHcoBaA2emSg9GrVZmDRUNVuwCLcBGAsYHQ/s853/Law%2BFirm%2BSearch%2BEngine.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="screen snip - Law Firm Search Engine - tagline: Search law firm websites.

For example, I entered <b>nonprofit incorporation washington state</b> and found a post from Davis Wright Tremaine from May 2021: David A. Lawson, <a href="https://www.dwt.com/insights/2021/05/washington-nonprofit-corporation-act-2021" target="_blank">Washington's New Nonprofit Corporation Act: Is Your Nonprofit Ready?</a> What? There's a new statute? It goes into effect in less than three months?? Tell me more!<br /></p><p>When I searched for <b>covid vaccine mandate</b>, I found a post from Littler, a big employment law firm, from <i>today</i>: <a href="https://www.littler.com/publication-press/publication/mandatory-employee-vaccines-coming-state-near-you" target="_blank">Mandatory Employee Vaccines – Coming to A State Near You?</a> (Oct. 7, 2021). If you just used Google (or another search engine), you'd find lots of documents, but you'd probably have to wade through a lot of news and opinion (not to mention a dose of misinformation) before getting to a legal analysis from a law firm.</p><p>This handy site was developed by Jeffrey Buckley, a law librarian in New York and graduate of the <a href="https://ischool.uw.edu/" target="_blank">UW's iSchool</a>.
