About the Author

Reference Librarian Meris Bray (they/them/theirs) holds a multidisciplinary BA, and a MLIS from Western University. They have extensive work experience at the LSO’s Great Library, the University of Alberta, and the University of Windsor, totalling over a decade and a half of providing practical legal research assistance to students, articling students, and lawyers. Previously, they have been invited to speak at the Edmonton Law Library Association’s Headstart program for articling students, LSO Continuing Legal Education seminars, and a range of law school classes. As a law librarian, they believe their role is to focus on helping learners build practical, practice-ready legal research skills, and they offer expertise not only in how to do legal research, but also in the practicalities of life and research in the “real world.”
