Team SHLEP is in transition. (see our grand re-opening post, May 28, 2007). Law librarians Tammy Pettinato and Terry Conway are now co-editors of shlep, and may soon assemble another group of self-help law advocates and practitioners, who will be regular contributors to this weblog.

shlep was launched in September 2006. Its original editor was David Giacalone, of the f/k/a weblog. Mary Whisner of the Trial Ad Notes weblog also served as a co-editor and frequent contributor. Other members of the original shlep team were Maryland lawyer and law librarian John Cannan; lawyer and weblogger Richard M. “Rick” Georges (of Future Lawyer), and Americorps VISTA volunteer Orijit Ghoshal. Their postings can still be found at this website.
