Mr. Buckley was appointed reference librarian in 1980 and has set the standard for excellence in the public services operation within the Law Library. Whether it concerns the most current legal precedent, obscure Latin legal phrases, or information about the last four decades of rock music, students and faculty have come to rely on Mr. Buckley's expertise. In 1999, he was named Collection Development Librarian.
He teaches legal research in the Legal Research and Writing Program and Legal Bibliography and Law Library Administration through the School of Library and Information Science. In addition to his reference duties, he oversees the Jump Start Program for summer associates and graduates.
Well known in the Law School as the author of Res Ipsa Jocular, the library's satirical April Fool's Day newsletter, Mr. Buckley also writes fiction, poetry, and music. His other areas of study include 19th-century gravestone carving and the life-cycle of the periodic cicada.
