The Judith M. Wright Fellowship was established in 2013 on the occasion of Ms. Wright’s retirement as Director of the D’Angelo Law Library, in recognition of her forty years of service to the University of Chicago Law School. The Fellowship recognizes Ms. Wright’s legacy as a mentor to generations of law librarians.
The Judith M. Wright Fellowship develops promising new professionals in academic law librarianship by supporting a career training program at the D’Angelo Law Library. The Fellowship provides a stipend to a law school or library science student or recent graduate selected for training at the D’Angelo Law Library for this Fellowship.
The Fellowship is intended to give candidates interested in law librarianship as a career an opportunity to apply their skills and knowledge in an academic law library setting. Fellows working in the D’Angelo Law Library under the guidance and supervision of the Law Library Director and other librarians will learn about the overall functions, policies and practices of the D’Angelo Law Library in both technical services and user services departments. In addition to participating in the daily work of a premier academic law library, Fellows will undertake and complete a project based on the needs and capabilities of the D’Angelo Law Library and the interests and prior experience of the Fellow.
