Another memorable AALL Annual Meeting & Conference in the books! In July our team of librarians traveled to Portland, Oregon, to connect with the broader community of law librarians and share the latest updates from PLI. This year we were excited to introduce Season 3 of the Practising Law Librarian Podcast, hosted by PLI’s own Karen Oesterle, Director of Legal Research. It was wonderful to participate yet again in this impactful event for the legal informational community.
The AALL Annual Meeting & Conference serves as the premier gathering for legal information professionals, offering customized learning experiences and invaluable opportunities to connect, collaborate, and share innovative practices across the field.
Following AALL’s theme of ” Be Bold!” PLI encouraged participants to “Fuel Your Practice with Bold Coffee and Bold Insights from PLI!” We also asked visitors to join our raffle to win coffee beans from Portland’s own Stumptown coffee.
Over the conference weekend, PLI hosted our annual Lunch & Learn. Over a delicious meal we were able to promote the latest developments from PLI, including new enhancements to PLI PLUS. We also promoted our new publications from PLI Press including: Sanctions and Export Controls Practice Guide, Multidistrict Litigation and Decrypting Crypto: Digital Assets and Web3 Explained.
It was a wonderful visit to the City of Roses! We’re already looking forward to next year’s conference in Cleveland.

PLI Press is thrilled to announce the publication Sanctions and Export Controls Practice Guide. This clear and concise guide covers current key domestic and global regimes governing international trade restrictions and, importantly, also provides foundational knowledge of the field so that practitioners can effectively research existing requirements and develop compliance strategies as laws change. The book focuses on explaining relevant legal frameworks, compliance strategies, enforcement mechanisms, and recent trends, and there are numerous practice tips throughout. While the book primarily focuses on U.S. sanctions and export controls programs, it also covers multilateral regimes of the United Nations and the European Union, autonomous regimes of individual foreign nations, and coordinated regimes among nations. This book will serve as a useful guide for both specialists in international trade law and general practitioners representing companies and other entities that engage in cross-border transactions.
