“Classic Wisdom for Contemporary Challenges: The 2021 AALL Conference”

More than 1,600 information professionals met July 19–23, 2021, in virtual Cleveland for the American Association of Law Libraries’ (AALL) annual conference. Under the conference theme Leading With Wisdom and Insight, they shared a liberal dose of classic wisdom for addressing the unique challenges of our present moment.

“Law Librarians Capitalize on Their Strengths in Washington, D.C.”

In 2019, the AALL (American Association of Law Librarians) Annual Meeting & Conference returned to Washington, D.C., for the first time in a decade, as more than 2,000 attendees (up from 1,400 in 2018) gathered July 13–16 under the theme Capitalizing on Our Strengths.

In addition to the conference, some 60 AALL members from 25 states capitalized on the capital location, spending a Day on the Hill doing advocacy training and lobbying. They focused on three key issues: the passage of bipartisan legislation to free up access to federal court records through the PACER system; full funding of the Library of Congress, and especially the Law Library of Congress; and restoration of Net Neutrality protections.
