How can I find a law library job?

Law libraries advertise positions in many places, most of which are readily accessible on the web. The best places to look depend on the type of position you seek; law schools and some governmental entities usually advertise nationally, while state, county, corporate, and law firm positions tend to advertise locally.

The leading source for identifying nationally advertised positions is AALL's Career Center. Locally advertised positions often appear on AALL chapter websites . AALL chapters are organized by geographic areas such as states, cities, or other regions, which allows you to focus your search on a geographic area of interest.

In addition, some law library jobs, such as law firm and corporate positions, are advertised on the Special Libraries Association and American Library Association websites.

The Placement Committee facilitates in-person interviews at AALL's Annual Meeting held each July. See the Placement Committee's Services at the Annual Meeting web page for details.
