Annual Meeting Programs Did AALL censor a program at the Annual Meeting?

In spring 2007, the State, Court, and County Law Libraries Special Interest Section (SCCLL-SIS) submitted for the 2007 Annual Meeting program book a description of a program it planned to hold concerning legal publishing. The description mentioned boycotts as one of the possible actions AALL members might take to deal with rising prices. The AALL attorney reviewed the program descriptions and expressed considerable concern that this program might violate antitrust restrictions. Therefore, the SCCLL-SIS Board was asked to reconsider, and it canceled the program.
