Stanford Law School’s Robert Crown Law Library has established the J. Paul Lomio Memorial Fellowship in memory of the library’s former director. The fellowship honors Lomio’s life and work by providing a career training program for aspiring academic law librarians.

The fellowship provides work experience and a stipend to a law school, library science, or archives student or recent graduate. Fellows will work for 6 weeks full time or 12 weeks part time under the law library director and other librarians to learn the functions and practices of the Robert Crown Law Library.

Paul Lomio passed away on March 6, 2015.  He spent 30 years at the law library, becoming a specialist in legal research and developing the library’s digital reserves. He and his staff twice received the annual Staff Appreciation Award from graduating law classes. A U.S. Army veteran, Lomio also served as an advisor to the Stanford Law Veterans Organization.
