CHICAGO ASSOCIATION OF LAW LIBRARIES
A chapter of the American Association of Law Libraries

The CALL Meetings Committee presents:

Meeting Date: Thursday, November 16, 2023

Location: Zoom (meeting details to follow)

Time: 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. (Please stay on Zoom after the meeting to network and catch up with CALL friends.)

Speaker: 

Pablo Arredondo is Co-founder and Chief Innovation Officer at Casetext, a legal technology company that develops sophisticated research and drafting tools to improve access to legal research and help attorneys practice more efficiently. Pablo's innovations, including Casetext's pioneering brief analysis tool, CARA A.I., have been recognized by the World Economic Forum, the American Association of Law Libraries, and the American Bar Association. In addition to his groundbreaking contributions at Casetext, Pablo is a CodeX Fellow at the Stanford Center for Legal Informatics, where he focuses on civil litigation in common law jurisdictions, with an emphasis on how litigators access and assemble the law. At this meeting, Pablo will discuss developments in AI and legal research.

Unfortunately, Pablo Arredondo had to cancel—we hope to arrange a continuing education event with him before the year is out. The business meeting will proceed with our usual announcements, and then we’ll move to breakout rooms for focused discussion
