This post has been reposted on the Gallagher Law Library blog
Reference librarian Anna Endter has created a new guide to Washington State’s LLLT program. It chronicles the history and development of the concept and its adoption by and through the Washington Supreme Court and the Washington State Bar Association.
The guide describes and links to court orders, Board of Governors’ meetings, magazine articles, and a YouTube video.
This fall, the University of Washington School of Law will offer a family law curriculum

A companion guide covers State Activities Related to Limited License Legal Professionals. This page addresses developments in California, New York, and Oregon.
Both sites will be updated as additional developments occur.
