Above the Law Hotties: Law Librarians!

When it comes to legal hotties contests, Above the Law is a market leader — and everybone else has yet to match.

We’re previously held beauty contests for America’shottest ERISA lawyers, law school deans, and 3L students at NYU Law. And we have tons of ideas for future contests.

We asked for your help in picking our next contest. Here’s how you voted:

That’s right, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to ATL’s latest hotties contest: LAW LIBRARIANS!!!

It’s not as strange as it might seem. Librarians get a bad rap; they’re regarded as frumpy and, well, bookish. But we know there are lots of hot legal librarians out there just waiting to be discovered.

To name just one, there’s the fun and fabulous Martha-Ann Alito, the wife of Justice Samuel A. Alito. They met when he was an assistant U.S. attorney in Newark, New Jersey, and she was the USAO’s law librarian. Some people find their angels in the centerfold; Sam Alito found his in the center stacks!

Okay, time for contest logistics. Do you know a hot law librarian — whether at a law school, a law firm, a courthouse, or elsewhere — who deserves to be considered?

Please check out the nomination rules and guidelines, which appear after the jump. Thanks!

First, a few rules:

1. The nominee must be a CURRENT law librarian. No former librarians.

2. The nominee must be an actual, bona fide law librarian — as opposed to, say, someone who just works in a library. Hot undergraduates who check IDs at the law library desk are NOT eligible.

Second, the submission guidelines. To nominate a hot legal librarian, here’s what you must email us (subject line: Law Librarian Hotties):

Sponsored

(1) the nominee’s name, title, and workplace;

(2) a decent-sized, reasonably high-quality, digital photograph of the nominee (ideally a face pic); and

(3) a testimonial, in which you explain why this law librarian deserves to be named America’s hottest law librarian.

Please note that incomplete submissions will be DISREGARDED. Nominations without a picture will be ignored, no matter how emphatically you rave about the candidate’s hotness. We realize that law librarian headshots aren’t as easy to find as, say, law firm partner headshots. But that’s your problem, not ours.

Of course, we encourage you to do whatever it takes to get these photos (within the bounds of the law). If you need to hide behind the stacks and take stalker-esque, paparazzi-style photos of your favorite law librarian, go for it. If you need to tell a white lie — “Martha, I’m testing out my brand-new digital camera — can I take a picture of you?” — we will understand.

We’ll accept nominations until — eh, whenever we have enough. As always, tipsters and nominators will remain anonymous (unless you give away your identity in your testimonial, e.g., “My wife Martha is the hottest law librarian ever!”).

We look forward to hearing from you!
