Aid Available to Canadian Law Librarians to Attend Law Via the Internet 2018 Conference in Italy

Members of the Canadian Association of Law Librarians can apply for the Janine Miller Fellowship to receive funding to attend the Law Via the Internet 2018 conference in Florence, October 11-12, 2018:

"This year the Conference, organized in Florence by the Institute of Legal Information Theory and Techniques of the Italian National Research Council, will explore issues of trust in accessing law for democratic purposes in the big data age. Knowledge management plays a critical role for organizations seeking to establish trustworthy digital repositories and to make the future open and diverse, based on genuine verified legal content. During the two days conference, speakers will discuss how scholars, researchers, legal practitioners and information professionals use very large or complex data sets to distill meaning and develop public policy."

Expenses up to a maximum of $2,500 will be covered.

Law Via the Internet is an annual international conference that brings together various communities involved in free access to law.
