Columbia Law School is hosting the first ever Attorneys
General Librarians Initiative (AGLI) Summit August 7-9, 2013. Led by Jim Tierney, Director
of the National
State Attorneys General Program at Columbia Law School, a group of six Attorneys General law
librarians have put together the framework for three days worth of substantive
legal policy programming and sessions geared toward resource-sharing by AG
librarians across state lines. At the conclusion of the Summit attendees will
finalize AGLI’s Constitution and Bylaws, and vote in a new Executive
Board. Overall, the three days are aimed
at creating a collegial bonding and collaboration experience for AG librarians
nationwide.
The
National State Attorneys General Program at Columbia Law School is a legal
research, education-and-policy center that examines the implications of the
jurisprudence of state attorneys general. Working closely with
attorneys general, their staff, students, academics and other members of the
legal community, the Program is active in the development and dissemination of
legal information that state prosecutors are able to use in the carrying out of
their civil and criminal responsibilities.
