Law Librarians at the Front Lines of Change

In the June edition of Law Technology Now, host Monica Bay, an attorney and Editor-in-Chief of ALM’s Law Technology News invites her American Association of Law Libraries (AALL) co-presenters, Steven Lastres and D. Casey Flaherty to chat about the recent and upcoming changes in technology affecting law librarians and legal research.

Before moving in-house he worked at BigLaw where he focused his practice in commercial litigation and e-discovery.
