Yes, it's about research and it's a valuable skill.

Whoever mocked librarians probably doesn't know how to use the library. Google is not the "end all be all" that some folks seem to think it is. As a lawyer, I strongly believe that the only folks trained to do research properly are lawyers and librarians. In my experience, everyone else comes up short.

Someone who makes a comment like this is out of touch with what librarians do today. I cannot believe people still have this outdated stereotype of a librarian in mind.
I agree. I went from BigLaw to government and I miss our law librarians. They were so great for finding all those obscure sources. Even just legislative history searches, they made much easier. The first time I had to do a legislative history search at my current job I wanted to scream. Westlaw/Lexis reps were no help at all.
Bless you!!

I have an MLS and my sense is that law librarian salaries are in the $60-80k range. This chart at Above the Law seems to corroborate that:

Most of the law librarians I know of have both a JD and an MLS.

Is there someone out there who can give me a range of salaries for various positions in a large private law firm in DC or similar large cities?
I know about the AALL survey but don't wish to spend money on that now.
Looking for ranges for mid-senior level reference librarian and Supervisor (without J.D.) degree. Would having a J.D. degree and an M.L.S. command more?
Kind regards to anyone who responds!! Thanks!!
