The summer issue of Legal Information Management is now available electronically from Cambridge University Press; print copies will be arriving in due course.

The content is varied in this issue. Under the ‘occasional series’ heading there is a further contribution from Lesley Dingle whose Eminent Scholars Archive (ESA) was recently awarded the Wallace Breem Memorial Award 2020. The latest entry to the ESA forms the basis of her article which is entitled, ‘Conversations with Michael J. Prichard: the Fun of Legal History and the Triumph of Research over Administration.’

There follows the results of the latest ‘The BIALL Law Firm Library Survey 2019/2020’, a report which has been drafted by Claire Greening.

AI remains a hot topic at the present time and this issue contains a scholarly article entitled, ‘Artificial Intelligence and Race: a Systematic Review’ by Channarong Intahchomphoo, who has written for the journal before, and Odd Erik Gundersen.

The regular feature ‘Focus on Legal publishers and suppliers’ has two contributions this time around. Firstly, Penny Bailey writes about her company Bailey Solutions; her article is entitled ‘Responding to Change: Surviving the Financial Crisis, the Pandemic and Everything Else!’ The second contribution to this section features an update on the recent activities and progress concerning ‘vLex Justis: the Alternative Just Got Better’ and is written by Masoud Gerami and Aidan Hawes.

There follows various short articles representing the winners in all categories of ‘The Justis International Law & Technology Writing Competition 2020’. An introduction to the competition is provided by David Hand and Matthew Terrell.

Finally, there is a piece about collection development of legal information resources in the Supreme Court of India written by Mohd Muzzammil.

The issue is completed with our usual current awareness service compiled by Katherine Read and Heath Memess of the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies. The autumn issue will be along soon and will feature articles about the challenges faced by legal information professionals during the recent Covid-19 lockdown. More on that soon…

Read the latest issue of Legal Information Management without charge until 15 October 2020.
