Alabama Supreme Court and State Law Library
Montgomery, Alabama

9:00 - 10:00: Welcome/Registration with Light Breakfast 

10:00 am - 11:15: Alabama Supreme Court & State Law Library: Its Past, Its Present, and Its Future (?)   
   
     The Supreme Court Library is the oldest law library in Alabama and the first library in Alabama  created by legislative enactment.  In 1887, Library Journal listed the Supreme Court Library as Alabama’s largest with 17,626 volumes. Founded in 1828, over the past 185 years the Law Library has suffered fire, secession, invasion by hostile soldiers, the ravages of technological change, yet still serves the Courts, the Bar, and the People of Alabama. This program will explore the Law Library’s rich past, its present state (including a tour of the Law Library), and what the future holds.

     During lunch, each table will nominate, discuss, and rank the top research errors on summer associates.  This will be followed by the entire group discussing the errors and compiling them for publication on our web site.  Then John will present his list a la David Letterman and the Tonight Show’s Top Ten Lists.
