Hello:

Please note:

The spreadsheet sent out on Michlib—L (below) is one that was created by me for purposes of information only –  and one that I  often distribute to anyone who asks about Library Law attorneys.


I pulled information from Bar Directories, websites and case opinions involving public libraries.

Please conduct your own research on any law firm or attorney before hiring.

This list does NOT constitute recommendations by me or the Library of Michigan.

Thanks
Clare
