Abstract Three academic and one law firm librarian, Susan Boyle, Virginia Conrick, Pattie Punch, and Ann O'Sullivan collaborated to create a ‘Lawyering Toolkit’. It was devised to support learners on the legal lifecycle from higher education to the corporate sphere and beyond. Arranged by skills level, it was imagineered via the online BIALL Irish Group meetings during the Covid pandemic. Learning steps were visually scaffolded in LibGuides to build a quick reference platform. This article describes how the Toolkit proof-of-concept developed through experiential reflection and shared discussion. It tracks the construction of a prototype to presentation at BIALL Conference 2022 and incorporates feedback from the conference and the BIALL Irish Group. It is envisaged that the Lawyering Toolkit will ensure a more collaborative and consistent approach to legal information literacy in the Republic of Ireland.

Abstract Decolonisation remains as a topical debate in academic libraries. Goldsmiths, University of London Library, led a decolonisation initiative which inspired many other academic libraries to engage in social justice. Here IALS librarian Marilyn Clarke, who was previously Director of Library Services at Goldsmiths, examines what's happening in law libraries when it comes to this matter, and asks whether legal knowledge and the law school can be decolonised.

Abstract Financing work is an important source of revenue for many law firms, so it's no surprise that the finance practice group is often one of the largest in a City firm. But what is finance and what do finance lawyers do? Ian Hunter, Content & Research Manager (EMEA) at Shearman & Sterling (London) LLP, gives LIM the benefit of his wide experience in the sector.

Abstract Author, broadcaster and researcher Stephanie Hare's presentation on technology ethics was one of the most spoken about events at last year's BIALL conference, a thought-provoking talk that left many wanting more. With this in mind, Mike and Jas Breslin sat down with Stephanie to talk about the fascinating and very readable book it was based on, her thoughts on why technology ethics is especially important to information professionals, and whether she believed AI will ever do law librarians out of a job.

Here they discuss the newly incorporated Register of Overseas Entities (ROE), share its brief history to date, the reasons for its introduction, and the challenges and benefits of creating and maintaining it.

H. Garner, Felicity Staveley-Taylor
Abstract This article is based on a course on how to use Moys classification scheme,1 delivered by Helen Garner and Felicity Staveley-Taylor on behalf of the British and Irish Association of Law Librarians (BIALL) in November 2022. The article, which is also written by Helen and Felicity, provides guidance on how to use Moys classification, explaining the features that enable the scheme to be expanded to accommodate new subject areas. The article also explains some of the features which ensure the scheme remains relevant to legal libraries today. Sections from the classification scheme, as published in the fifth edition, appear in the article text. In addition, any references to page numbers are to the fifth edition.
