Tim has accepted a one-year fellowship with the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington, D.C., and he will be leaving us this summer. In his current job, he contributes to the administration of the Lou- isiana court system and provides legal analysis on a wide variety of issues affecting the bench and bar. Since his work involves quite a bit of research, he's a familiar figure in the law library, where he frequently can be seen sitting at one of the tables near the Loui- siana acts and codified statutes. I joked with him and said that when he leaves, we would put a Tim Averill Memorial Chair plaque on his usual seat. Tim is not only extremely knowledgeable and helpful but also friendly and personable, and he will be greatly missed around here. He had a stellar academic career, first at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, VA, where he earned a B.A. in Eng- lish, then at the University of Kentucky before he moved on to the University of Alabama, where he received a Master of Public Administration degree. He worked to support himself through his decade of education at various jobs, including some time spent as a golf shop atten- dant. His first serious full-time job was as a labor representa- tive for the Civil Service Em- ployees Association in Albany, NY, where he aided association members in salary and employ- ment disputes and in negotiating terms and conditions of employ- ment. His next move brought him to New Orleans, where he attended law school and got his J.D. from Loyola University in May 1985, graduating in the top 20th percentile of his class. He has been a member of the Louisiana Bar since October of that year. He worked at three different law firms while in law school and immediately after graduation, specializing various- ly in admiralty, casualty, medical malpractice, insurance, criminal, and business law. No wonder he knows so much! continued on page 3 NEW PATHFINDER ON LOUISIANA JUDGES On numerous occasions, the Law Library has been called upon to research biographical informa- tion about justices who served on the Louisiana Supreme Court. In the interest of facili- tating such inquiries, the library will soon post a new pathfinder on its website. The Judges pathfinder will in- clude resources for researching all Louisiana judges, past and present, including those of the Supreme Court, Circuit Courts, District Courts, and Parish/City Courts. All listed resources are owned by the library or may be accessed from any of our public PCs. One easily browseable re- source is the Guide to the Louisi- ana Judiciary (Reserve KFL 508 .G85 2000), which collates basic biographical information about each judge in the state. Tran- scripts of memorials, inductions and retirement ceremonies can be found in the front matter of the Louisiana Reports and the Louisiana Cases, So. 2d (Refer- ence KFL 45 A21). Available from the library is an index of judges who appear in the front matter from 1813- 2002. Past that date, the names of judges who are the subject of such ceremonies can be located on the spine of the reporter vol- umes. Janice Shull's [he Chief Justices ofLouisiana. Life Sketches (KFL 512.Z9 S58 2007) is a fine place to begin researching information about Louisiana's chief justices throughout history. These resources and many more are listed on the pathfinder, which can be accessed at http:// www.lasc.org/law_1ibrary/li- braryjinformation. asp (scroll down for the pathfinders). 6 Volume 6, Issue 1 Spring 2008 Novotol The Newsletter of The Law Library of Louisiana
