Members of the Stanford Law School community remember SLS Library Director J. Paul Lomio in this Stanford Lawyer magazine tribute to his life. 

J. Paul Lomio, the director of the Robert Crown Law Library, passed away on Friday, March 6, 2015. He is survived by his wife, Sharon Inouye, and their daughter, Rita Lomio. The Law School is planning a memorial event, which is expected to take place in early April.

“Paul was an extraordinary leader of the library, and he assembled a truly amazing staff,” said M. Elizabeth Magill, Dean and Richard E. Lang Professor of Law. “Paul had a single-minded vision for the library. He constantly thought about helping each and every library user, and he had the uncanny ability to identify what his users needed even before they did. Under Paul’s influence and leadership, that ethic pervades the entire staff. Paul was also a wonderful human being who, in his time here, changed our community for the better in thousands of ways. We are all mourning his loss.”
