• 14-to-16 June, Belfast – The British & Irish Association of Law Librarians (BIALL) is holding its 43rd Annual Study Conference & Exhibition at The Europa Hotel, Belfast. The theme for this year’s conference is No Frontiers: Crossing the Borders of Legal Information and the programme will comprise presentations by invited speakers and BIALL’s members. Niamh Burns, Programme Coordinator says “The Conference Committee is confident that all delegates, whatever their sector, whatever their seniority level will be tempted by the many instructive and engaging sessions on offer throughout the busy three days of Conference.”
The Attorney General of Northern Ireland, Mr John Larkin, QC, will start proceedings with his keynote address Lines on Maps and Frontiers of Legal Research. He will be followed by Professor John Morrison of Queen’s University, Belfast, who will speak on What Makes and Important Case? Law librarians from the US and Australia will also give presentations on legal resources in their respective jurisdictions. A Pre-Conference seminar on Finance for Non-Finance Personnel, led by Stuart Warner of Financial Fluency, is scheduled for the afternoon of Wednesday 13 June.
