LLNE 2020 Spring Meeting Service Project

With everyone currently cooped up at home, the Service Committee thought it would be a great opportunity for members of LLNE to once again donate their time to help transcribe historically significant documents. The Boston Public Library is asking for the public’s assistance with transcribing its digitized collection of 19^thcentury handwritten correspondence between anti-slavery activists; doing so will improve the collection’s visibility, accessibility, and searchability for users.

Simply visit https://www.antislaverymanuscripts.org and click “Start Transcribing.” You will then be prompted to create an account before starting. The BPL has put together a great tutorial and field guide to help new volunteers, and you can transcribe as little or as much as you’d like—whenever you’d like! Please note that the project is currently not supported on mobile devices.

If you have any questions or comments about this project, please feel free to contact Kaitlin Connolly at Kaitlin.Connolly@mass.gov.

LLNE Spring 2020 has moved online!

Dear LLNE members and friends,

2020 is totally bonkers.

First, we hope you are safe and healthy, and that your family members are also safe and healthy.

Second, we would like to invite you to our LLNE Online Spring meeting. This meeting is intended as a celebration of the resilience of our community, all of whom have been going above and beyond to support their work places and institutions. While we recognize that not everyone may be well enough or interested in attending a meeting, we are hoping to provide community and togetherness by holding this meeting.

Third, a few notes about the day.

This is being provided for free for members of LLNE and some other local organizations. We decided against seeking sponsorship because this event is the result of the hard work of our community and we wanted to promote that.
You can register for each session separately. We do not expect you to stay for the whole day. Rather, you should come and go as you feel appropriate and as you feel the sessions apply to your work,
Several of the sessions are unconference discussion sessions. Feel free to veer off topic or bounce around topics. This day is for our members and the session titles are just a starting point.
You can snack, drink tea, or eat lunch during the sessions.
The sessions are being recorded. We are trying to increase access to members who could not participate but would like to view the content.

Finally, gratitude is in order. We would like to thank the staff at BC Law who were in the midst of planning an in-person Spring 2020 meeting when COVID-19 happened. They have graciously agreed to participate in one of our sessions online. Thanks also go to Shira Megerman and Maureen Quinlan, LLNE’s Education Directors who didn’t flinch when we discussed making this an online meeting and have done so much work so quickly. Next, we should thank BU Law for providing us the technology we will be using. Finally, I would like to thank the entirety of the LLNE Executive Board. They have been such kind and gracious problem solvers, and have given generously of their time, even during this crisis.

Onward,

Nicole P. Dyszlewski, LLNE Vice President on behalf of the Executive Board

Save the date for the LLNE Spring Meeting!

Dear LLNE friends and colleagues,

…

The spring LLNE meeting is going to be at Boston College Law School—this is a “save the date” announcement.

The conference will be on Tuesday, April 28, 2020, and the theme is Well-being and Mindfulness in the Legal Profession. We will have speakers from the Mindfulness in Law Society, from the SJC Well-Being Committee, from Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers, Boston firms, schools, etc. Some listening, some practicing–a day to learn and recharge your spirits. Details about registration to follow.

Thank you and enjoy the week.

Peace, Filippa and the BC Law Library Team

Learned Hands: LLNE Fall Service Project

In honor of the LLNE Fall Meeting titled “Artificial Intelligence and Algorithms in Law Libraries and in Legal Practice”, the Service Committee is promoting the use of the online legal game, Learned Hands. Developed by the Stanford Legal Design Lab and Suffolk’s Legal Innovation and Technology Lab, Learned Hands is a crowdsourcing game that helps develop access to justice technology. The game asks players to spot possible legal issues in real people’s stories. When you spot a legal issue, you are teaching the technology how to spot the issue as well. The technology will then be used to help link legal resources to the people who are searching for help. Anyone can play! To participate, go to https://learnedhands.law.stanford.edu/. Creating an account only takes a minute. Once you have an account, start reading stories and answer questions about any legal issues you find. You accrue points for every question you answer. Our goal is to reach 50,000 points by the end of November! To help us reach that goal, please email me (jessica.almeida@umassd.edu) your username so we can add your points to LLNE’s overall total.
