Join the Law Library for pet therapy in the student lounge on Monday,December 8.  Several dogs and a llama named Deacon Blue will be available to all for relaxing companionship from noon to 1pm – drop in any time!

This time there’s an added twist, attendees can enter into a prize drawing to win the gentleman in the picture that we’ve named Lloyd the Llama. Who doesn’t need a stuffed llama in their life, right?!

This program is co-sponsored by the Cornell Law Library, Cornell Companions, a pet visitation program sponsored by the Cornell University veterinary community, and the Student Animal Legal Defense Fund Club.

horrible bossesOriginally our DVD collection focused on feature films and television series, with an emphasis on law, lawyers, public policy, and government.  However we’ve also kept current with popular movies and television shows, and with the upcoming release of the comedy Horrible Bosses 2, we figured it was time to highlight the the original 2011 movie starring Jason Bateman, Jennifer Aniston, Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day.

From the summary:

“For Nick, Kurt, and Dale, the only thing that would make the daily grind more tolerable would be to grind their intolerable bosses into dust. Quitting is not an option, so, with the benefit of a few too many drinks and some dubious advice from a hustling ex-con, the three friends devise a convoluted and seemingly foolproof plan to rid themselves of their respective employers, permanently. There’s only one problem: even the best laid plans are only as foolproof as the brains behind them.”

If you’re interested in this or any of our other DVD titles take a look at our guide where you can see our current titles and link to the catalog record to see if the DVD is available or checked out.  You can also browse the collection in person in the study area directly outside the Law Library’s Reading Room.

Do you have a suggestion for the collection? Contact Nina Scholtz, Digital Resources Librarian.
