MARGARET MILAM '75
Margaret Mitchell Milam is the Law Library's Associate Director for Collection Development. She received her JD degree from WCL in 1975. She left the University of Virginia Law Library and came to WCL in 1971, both as a librarian and to attend law school. She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in government and politics from the University of Maryland, but much of it earned while living in Germany. She also holds a Master of Library Science degree from the University of Maryland. A native of New Orleans, she attended Sophie Newcomb College of Tulane University.
Margaret taught Legal Bibliography in Legal Method classes for ten years and also has taught law library research to graduate classes at AU's Kogod School of Business Administration. She was a consultant to the Library of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in Costa Rica, at the request of Judge Thomas Buergenthal of that Court, and to the Maryland State Bar Association Committee on Bar Libraries. She has held committee chairmanships in national, regional and local law library organizations and has edited and contributed to law library publications.
"My interest in attending law school was not to become a practitioner, but to enhance my already-chosen service career of academic law librarianship. I selected WCL because of its early commitment to the legal education of women. It has been exciting to be part of the renewal and expansion of the school's founding principles in terms of diversity, program scope and service. When I was in law school, the first full-time woman faculty member was hired. Now they number twenty-two, and our rich curriculum of programs, clinics and student activities focused on women's and gender studies is nationally recognized. It is a daily privilege and challenge to address the evolving curricular and research needs of our exceptional students and faculty in this interesting and innovative school."
