Temple Law Library Podcast

Curious about how a court library works?  Michael Hayes, Manager of Research Services, joins us to give a behind-the-scenes look at the Third Circuit Libraries, including their structure, projects, and resources and gives tips for what law students can do to prepare for their clerkships.

Interested in working as a student at the law school but a little intimidated or uncertain about what it entails? This month the Temple Law Library Podcast speaks with three Temple Law students, as well as a librarian who recently worked as an RA, to find out what being an RA or TA entails, and to get tips on how to get such a position.

Whether it’s the latest ruling in the Mar-a-Lago case or a state bill on abortion, law is all over the news and social media.  But where can you find the actual court ruling, statute, or bill behind the attention-grabbing leads and impassioned commentary?  Join Temple Law librarian Julie Randolph for a discussion of how you can find and read for yourself the law behind the headlines.

Goodbyes are hard. In this episode, we sat down with outgoing Temple Law Library Director Michelle Cosby to reflect on her time here at Temple. From the pandemic to creating a podcast, there is much to look back on. We extend a big thank you to Michelle for all that she has done at Temple Law, and we wish her the best in her new position!

Have you considered pursuing a career in Law Librarianship and want to know more? In this episode, Law Librarians Julie Randolph, Charlie Perkins, and Noa Kaumeheiwa discuss all the different avenues of Law Librarianship, the education required, and some highlights from their experience in the field. 

From the outside, one would see the physical changes of the Temple Law. But what happens when four professors, with a combined 100+ years spent at Temple Law, sit down and talk about how it’s evolved over the years? A really awesome bonus episode is made!

In this bonus episode, Law Librarian, Julie Randolph sits down with Professors Abreu, Baron, Bartow, and Little to discuss how they’ve seen Temple Law become what it is today. This episode is in conjunction with our previous Celebrating 125 Years of Temple Law episode.

From smoking sections to stolen Blue Books, we present The Evolution of Temple Law.
