After a Layoff, Law Librarian Starts ‘A La Carte’ Business
Susan Davis, who has just started a statewide business called Law Library On Call LLC, began her legal career as an attorney with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
She moved to Connecticut and was a "full-time mom" for years before earning a library degree from Southern Connecticut State University. In her last semester, she took a job in the library at Updike, Kelly & Spellacy, and worked in the firm’s Hartford offices until being laid off earlier this year.
Davis has bounced back with her New Haven, Conn.-based startup business, which offers the skills of a full-time law librarian on an a la carte basis. Those include legal research, vetting expert witnesses, training associates in legal research, and negotiating with research tool vendors. The Connecticut Law Tribune Senior Writer Thomas B. Scheffey spoke recently with Davis about changes in her profession.
