Late last week The Library of Congress posted a job opening announcement and job description to fill the Law Librarian of Congress (LLOC) opening.
Even if you’re not interested or qualified to apply I still find it useful to learn about it’s duties, qualifications, and salary.
For example, the Law Librarian of Congress is required to have a law degree from an American Bar Association accredited program OR “or an attorney with demonstrable expertise in foreign and comparative law and the law and legal system of a foreign jurisdiction outside of the United States.”
The position does not require an ALA accredited LIS degree or any other type of law library experience.
The LLOC is paid between $121,956.00 to $168,700.00/per year. You’ll also need to have or obtain a Top Secret security clearance.
This position became available when David Mao (formerly LLO) was appointed Deputy Librarian of Congress on January 12, 2015.
