The Spring meeting is always an exciting one because it marks the changing of the guard -- saying farewell to an outgoing president and welcoming the incoming one. About 30 VALLers met at the picturesque University of Virginia Law School to listen to a panel of academic law librarians discuss how they "Prep to Practice" and another panel of law firm and court librarians share their experiences "In Practice."
