The Call for Papers Has Begun

For Immediate Release
October 24, 2002

Have you been thinking of writing an article of interest to law librarians? Maybe you just need a push to get started? Whether for fame or fortune, this is your chance to enter the AALL/LexisNexis™ Call For Papers Competition.

The AALL/LexisNexis™ Call for Papers Committee is soliciting articles in three categories:

• Open Division: for AALL members and law librarians with five or more years of professional experience
  
• New Members Division: for recent graduates and AALL members who have been in the profession for less than five years
  
• Student Division: for budding law librarians still in school (Students need not be members of the AALL.)

The winner in each division receives $750, generously donated by LexisNexis™, plus the opportunity to present his or her paper at a special program during the AALL Annual Meeting in Seattle. Winning papers will also be considered for publication in the Association's prestigious Law Library Journal.

For more information, a list of previous winners, and an application, visit the AALL Web site at http://www.aallnet.org/about/award_call_for_papers.asp. Submissions must be postmarked by March 1, 2003.

If you have any questions, please contact any member of the AALL/LexisNexis™ Call for Papers Committee: Chair Malo Bernal, mber@loc.gov; Kathryn Hensiak, k-hensiak@law.northwestern.edu; or Connie Strittmatter, connie.s@asu.edu.
