2nd Annual Law Librarian “Un-Run”

This year’s AALL Un-Run (unsponsored fun run) was organized by fellow LLAM member John Cannan. Both runners and walkers enjoyed the route from the convention center to Philadelphia Museum of Art. The run culminated with a run up the Art Museum steps…just like Rocky!  Several LLAM members participated including Janet Camillo (and Larry), Jean Hessenauer and Joanne Colvin.

New Co-webmasters of LLAM Website

Jenny Rensler has joined Mary Jo Lazun as co-webmaster of the LLAM website this year, and she has added navigation links from the LLAM website to the LLAM newsletter pages for improved access to “LLAM-formation.” Since earning her J.D. in the spring, this fall she is enjoying teaching 30 students in her first course of Advanced Legal Research at the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law. She survived Irene: a 30-foot tree in front of her Riva townhome fell, but fortunately did not damage any property during the hurricane. She and her husband Matt are preparing to move from downtown Baltimore to the Annapolis area this fall in order to be near their families and to ease his commute to work. Now that she will have a commute to work, she is looking forward to catching up on her “reading” with “books on CD” from the library!
