4 2 School of Law Why take the MSc now? Rapid technological advances mean that library, information and knowledge services in both the public and private sectors of legal practice are changing dramatically. This in turn means attractive, rewarding career opportunities for those with the skills and the enthusiasm to meet the challenges ahead. Information and knowledge management make a vital contribution to the effective and efficient operation of knowledge-based organisations, such as law firms. Legal information resources are complex and diverse, requiring specialist skills to organise and integrate large quantities of information in digital, multimedia and paper formats. Information managers contribute to the economic and commercial success of their organisations by providing professional expertise in information resource management. Most large and medium-sized law firms now have teams of Professional Support Lawyers who support fee-earning transactional lawyers by providing targeted know-how services. Their work may include collating precedents, compiling case law bulletins and producing briefings for clients. Legal information professionals also manage intranets, information databases and knowledge management systems, as well as training fee-earners to use these systems to find the resources they need. Find out what some of our graduates are doing now on page 12.
