"This article is the second article written by the authors about academic law librarianship in Canada (...) We begin by explaining the impetus for this article. We explore the necessary components for success of a specialized profession generally and then detail selected results of the Reinvigorating Academic Law Library Standards which was conducted in winter 2023. We conclude this article with some general observations about the current trajectory of academic law librarianship in Canada, with an eye to our next article which will suggest relevant changes to academic law library standards in the future."
