The American Association of Law Libraries PLL Summit, now in its fourth year,
continues as a vehicle for examining the impact and opportunities presented by
change in the law firm environment. The Summit will be held on July 13th in Seattle in conjunction with the AALL annual conference.Last year, we looked at changes in the business and practice of
law and envisioned what those changes mean for the future. Joan Axelroth and I are Co-Chairs of the program. This year’s Summit, “SOS,Shaping Our Success” we
explore how to take charge, shaping ourselves as well as the services we
provide to meet these new world demands.
Afternoon Sessions. In the afternoon, interactive break-out sessions will
investigate the practical aspects of social media, the art of branding and the user
experience. The sessions will be repeated twice so that each participant
can benefit from two out of the three programs.
