When faculty at the Francis King Carey School of Law need assistance with law review articles and other works of scholarship their first call is to Sue McCarty, JD ‘04. As managing research fellow at the Thurgood Marshall Law Library — a program unique to Maryland Carey Law — McCarty diligently triages close to 200 research requests each year. She delegates the work between herself and her team of research fellows for whom she serves as a mentor. The program is so popular that it’s used as a recruitment tool to attract the best legal scholars to the law school.
For her work as a collaborator extraordinaire and mentor to the next generation of legal scholars, McCarty was chosen as University of Maryland, Baltimore’s March Employee of the Month.
“You are invaluable to the faculty and a much admired person,” said President Jay A. Perman, MD, who presented McCarty with a congratulatory certificate from during a “mock” meeting staged by McCarty’s law school colleagues.
In addition to editing faculty scholarship and maintaining the “selected works” portion of the law school’s website, McCarty recently took on management of the law school’s Digital Commons, the electronic showcase for faculty publications.
“Of all the resources that are available, and valuable to the production of good scholarship, Sue is the most important,” said Rena Steinzor, JD, professor. “She’s smart, diligent, pleasant, and insightful. I feel so lucky to work with her.”
“I love what I do,” said McCarty. “I get to read the scholarly works of our law professors who write in many areas of law and public policy. I am always learning and thinking. This award is the icing on the cake.”
