Research Assistants

Student Research Assistants: For longer term projects, Law faculty may engage research assistants through Von Taverdi,  Faculty Support Coordinator. The Law Library offers consultations, advice, and assistance to research assistants working for Law faculty. Please refer your RAs to Scott Vanderlin as they begin their projects so that we can assist them to be as productive as possible. 

Law School Library Fellowship Program: The D'Angelo Law Library has a fellowship program for law school students who have a demonstrated interest in learning more advanced research skills. These fellows are hired on a quarterly basis, and in addition to supporting the D'Angelo reference department, they are available to work with Law faculty on short projects (10 - 20 hours). Contact Ariel Scotese if you are interested.

Proxy Borrowing: Faculty with annual borrowing privileges may designate another person as a proxy borrower. This person is able to borrow and recall books on behalf of the faculty member, with the same loan periods and privileges that the faculty member would have in person. All material charged on the proxy borrower's card is the responsibility of the faculty member. To request a proxy borrower account, complete this application formIf you have further questions concerning Proxy Borrower Privileges, please contact the ID & Privileges Office.
