The 2007 conference featured a diverse array of sessions and workshops addressing critical topics in the legal information field. A notable program titled "And Still I Rise: Resurrecting the Legal System in New Orleans...Tales from the Trenches" focused on the challenges and responses to the collapse of the New Orleans justice and legal education infrastructures following Hurricane Katrina. This session provided valuable insights into rebuilding resilient legal systems.
