"Services to Pro Se Patrons and Prisoners"
Moderator: Amy Hale-Janeke

What role do law librarians play in the do-it-yourself pro se world? How much help is appropriate? How do we deal with pro ses' expectations? Come to this roundtable and share your best strategies and worst reference horror stories. We will include some information about pro bono opportunities for pro se patrons. Additionally, Barbara Golden, the Minnesota State Law Librarian, will discuss the unique "Law Library Service to Prisoners" (LLSP) program at the MN State Law Library, which celebrated it's 20th anniversary in 2004.
