Yale Law School Virtual Symposium on Citation and the Law

The Lillian Goldman Law Library hosted its very first symposium which focused on Citation and the Law on April 22 and 23, 2021. Due to pandemic restrictions, the symposium was hosted in a virtual format only with over 500 registered attendees from all over the world. The symposium highlighted the scholarship of law librarians and faculty interested in issues ranging from the US News and World Reports rankings for scholarly productivity, to link rot, to empirical research in the use of citations, and more. The symposium commenced with a welcome address by Yale Law School Dean, Heather Gerken. Keynote speaker Fred Shapiro, Associate Law Librarian for Collections and Special Projects at the Lillian Goldman Law Library, set the stage with his paper “The Most-Cited Legal Scholars Revisited” published in 2021 in the University of Chicago Law Review. Scholarly papers from more than 20 authors were subsequently published in a 2022 book by the William S. Hein Company, The Role of Citation in the Law: A Yale Law School Symposium, AALL Publications Series No. 86, edited by Michael Chiorazzi. My Name is Pauli Murray— Virtual Pre-Release Screening Event
