Nicholas Mignanelli is a leading voice in law librarianship, and a pioneer in the field of critical legal research (or “CLR”), the idea that we should question the values and assumptions inherent in legal research processes such as algorithms. Nicholas served as the Reference & Instructional Services Librarian and a Lecturer in Law at the University of Miami School of Law before joining the Yale Law Library in January. Nicholas has emerged as a true leader in the field, particularly through his work on CLR and artificial intelligence. He helped create the Research Crits Caucus of the American Association of Law Libraries (AALL). His articles on critical race approaches to the legal research process have twice won the AALL Call for Papers (New Members Division). Nicholas’s groundbreaking course steeped in CLR, which he taught this year, titled “(Re)Searching for Justice,” is the first of its kind and demonstrates the true potential for CLR pedagogy.
