SEAALL 2004 ANNUAL MEETING
Richmond, Virginia
March 25 – 27, 2004

Come experience Virginia with your law librarian colleagues in March 2004.  The SEAALL Executive Board, the Program Committee, and the Local Arrangements Committee cordially invite you to join us in Richmond, Virginia, Thursday, March 25 – Saturday, March 27, 2004, for our 2004 Annual Meeting, “Virginia Is For Law Librarians.”

The Program Committee will present a diverse selection of educational programs.  Begin your education on Thursday, March 25 with “The Basics of Negotiating,” featuring Professor John Douglass, a nationally recognized negotiation and mediation speaker. The keynote address at the Annual Meeting will be delivered by Richmond attorney David Baugh.  Some of you remember Mr. Baugh’s stirring presentation about the sanctity of the U. S. Constitution at the 1999 AALL Annual Meeting.  We promise you an equally thought-provoking keynote address about the Bill of Rights under attack.  Other programs at the Annual Meeting will focus on issues facing law librarians, covering topics such as managing staff and libraries effectively, site licenses, cataloging, academic freedom, research in bankruptcy and securities law, First Amendment issues, and much, much more.

Richmond is a great city, and the Local Arrangements Committee has planned exciting events to showcase the City.  The views of Richmond and the James River at the Thursday night reception will be exceptional.  After the reception you will be within walking distance of many of Richmond’s finest restaurants in the “Shockoe Slip” and “Shockoe Bottom” sections of downtown.  For those dancers and night owls in the group, great bands and dancing can be found at the nightclubs and bars in the Bottom.  On Friday evening, SEAALL will return to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts for a reception and dinner. There will be some time to view the VMFA collection prior to dinner in the Museum’s Marble Hall.  For those of you staying until Sunday, we encourage you to take advantage of a Saturday afternoon excursion to Jamestown.  Participation is limited, so register early to save your place for this excursion.  

We are very excited about the 2004 SEAALL Annual Meeting, and we encourage you to attend.  Plan now to be among the law librarians enjoying “Virginia Is For Law Librarians” in March.
