Abstract
Despite recent changes in legal education, American law schools continue to prioritize faculty scholarship, and support for faculty research is still a primary function of academic law libraries. Based on survey responses from 38 of the top-ranked U.S. law schools’ libraries, this article discusses the different administrative models used to organize faculty services, innovative research services being offered, library research assistant pools, and best practices for organization, tracking time spent on faculty research requests, and receiving feedback on work, so as to best communicate the value of the library to the law school administration.
