Evening 1Ls and Lexis/Westlaw training
August 14, 2009 at 6:49 PM

These training sessions will occur immediately after the evening Contracts class. Evening students do NOT need to sign-up for these sessions (and, in fact, there is no place to do so). Just show up.

Coursesmart has been selling textbooks (largely undergraduate materials) since 2007. This may be an interesting development in the seemingly inevitable transition to electronic casebooks in law school classrooms.

Dispute between WestLaw and AALL (American Association of Law Libraries)
August 07, 2009 at 9:32 AM
The American Association of Law Libraries is the professional organization for law librarians that work in academic, law firm, and government law libraries. Recently, AALL had their annual meeting held in Washington, DC. For the first time, the AALL has refused sponsorship money from WestLaw because they are not participating in the official AALL price index for legal publications. Currently, WestLaw has a profit margin over 30% for their legal publications.
