This webinar will bring together perspectives from law schools, law firms and practicing attorneys for an honest conversation about what is happening in the real world. Panelists will discuss the gap between AI policies and actual behavior, the questions librarians are being asked to answer and practical ways they can help their organizations use AI more thoughtfully.

Legal content is evolving to meet the changing needs of today’s professionals, expanding beyond traditional research materials to include practical guidance, professional development, emerging technologies, and human-centered skills. At the same time, AI is reshaping how that content is discovered, consumed, and used. In this episode of The AALLIN Podcast, we bring together leaders from across the legal information industry to explore what these changes mean for the future of legal content. We’ll discuss how expectations around content are evolving, why authoritative and expert-created information remains essential, and how AI is changing the relationship between users and the information they rely on. We’ll also examine how law libraries can demonstrate the value and ROI of quality content to their stakeholders as traditional measures of usage evolve. Content may still be king, but the kingdom is changing. Law librarians and their vendor partners have an important role in shaping what comes next.

This panel will explore how legal information professionals, advocates, and courts can identify and respond to AI-driven abuses in filings, and how legal education must evolve to prepare new attorneys for practice in this high-stakes environment. Attendees will learn concrete strategies, emerging detection tools, and pedagogical approaches for integrating AI literacy and ethics into the curriculum.

This program will explore the tools, techniques, and best practices needed to create accurate, engaging, and insightful profiles of individuals and organizations. Participants will learn how to evaluate and leverage free GenAI resources while recognizing and avoiding the pitfalls and inaccuracies that often accompany free generative AI databases.

Our panel will explore how you can highlight your central role in driving organizational success, mitigating risk, and guiding safe technology adoption, leaving you with actionable storytelling techniques to confidently showcase your library's impact and continue steering your organization's strategic vision.

This program offers a practical comparison of popular tracking tools—including ResearchMonitor, OneLog, vendor-provided usage data, and manual methods used by small firms. This program explores how each tool captures usage, what types of insights they offer, and how to evaluate their reliability.

This presentation will (1) investigate the history and status of the public’s “right to know” as a political and Constitutional matter, (2) survey the complex landscape of federal information dissemination, and (3) critically examine multiple fronts upon which access to federal government information is endangered.

In this program, we will explore using familiar and lesser-known public records to dig into private companies. We will also examine how to make the most of records you find to help identify useful information in a variety of contexts such as competitive intelligence, counter-party research, due diligence, or vetting vendors, among other use cases.

"Where does my tax money go?" "What was the 'One Big Beautiful Bill?'" "Why are there both a House Budget Committee and a House Appropriations Committee?" "What is the difference between entitlements and the discretionary budget?" "How can the federal government shut down?" These are just some of the questions that will be answered in this presentation focusing on researching the legislative history and agency appropriations in the annual federal budget appropriations process under the Congressional Budget Act

Three panelists will give short “elevator pitch” presentations on their librarian-led empirical projects, ranging from citation analysis, comparative studies of search methods, scholarship impact metrics, and pedagogical assessments of first-generation law students’ study habits. None had extensive training before starting, they just started asking questions and found themselves in the middle of a study. They’ll share what worked, what didn’t, and how they learned by doing.
