I saw the other day that when New York firm Kaye Scholer recently moved to a new office it jettisoned 95 percent of its law library. The reason given was that most lawyers use electronic resources; the books took up valuable space, and were only occasionally used as a backdrop for Super Lawyer photos but for little else. Goodness, what a changed world!

In 2001 I left the practice to teach at the University of Connecticut School of Law. Though I soon left full-time teaching to lead the state disciplinary counsel’s office, I continued to teach for a decade. One of my subject areas was legal research and writing. After three dozen years at the mast, I still love researching and briefing an issue more than most anything else. The pleasure of teaching this subject was and is huge.
