Abstrakt: Fat people are judged based on their appearance and face prejudice and discrimination in every aspect of professional life. While the library profession tends to be more welcoming than the legal profession, it still has its problems. Using autoethnographic methods, this article will explore what it means to be fat in the law library world and propose some initial thoughts on practices that individuals, libraries, and professional organizations can adopt to better welcome and support fat people in law librarianship.
