Sorry about that, Clare. I should have been more clear in this email. (This was my third version, as the first two refused to send). Although the title is "recommendations", I only gave it that title because my original email was asking for recommendations. As Clare says, this list is strictly informational with no recommendations (other than Anne - many, many people recommended Anne to me).

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
