The Association of Boston Law Librarians (ABLL) is a diverse group with members from Boston area private law firms, law schools, federal and state agencies, as well as businesses. ABLL was founded in 1966 when the librarian of Choate, Hall & Stewart initiated informal luncheon meetings among Boston law firm librarians in order to get acquainted, exchange ideas and discuss common issues. The group focuses on providing educational and social opportunities for its members.
Please mark your calendars for the upcoming AI/Tech Fair to be held at the Social Law Library August 9 from 11AM-2PM.
Don’t miss out on raffles and a chance to mingle with fellow librarians as you learn about new resources and features to help with your legal research. As this event is open to members of Social Law and LLNE, please feel free to bring along colleagues who might not be members of ABLL but are members of those organizations.
Meet with representatives from leading legal research tech companies to learn more about their products and emerging capabilities. A full list of vendors will be sent closer to the event, but attached is a list with links for those who are confirmed.
For more information on the fair or the content feel free to reach out to Kara Mack: KMack@goodwinlaw.com
