AALLIn Podcast

What happens when the hosts become the guests? In this special episode of AALLIn, Andre Davison and Katie Brown switch roles to reflect on six episodes of conversations about AI, leadership, mentorship, innovation, professional development, and the changing world of legal information. They revisit memorable moments, share career stories and AALL experiences, and talk about what they’ve learned from each other along the way. Then podcast editor Gino Maley joins them for a rapid-fire round of questions. It’s a chance to get to know the people behind the podcast, celebrate the connections that make this profession special, and look ahead to what’s next for AALLIn.

Legal content is evolving to meet the changing needs of today’s professionals, expanding beyond traditional research materials to include practical guidance, professional development, emerging technologies, and human-centered skills. At the same time, AI is reshaping how that content is discovered, consumed, and used.

In this episode of The AALLIN Podcast, we bring together leaders from across the legal information industry to explore what these changes mean for the future of legal content. We’ll discuss how expectations around content are evolving, why authoritative and expert-created information remains essential, and how AI is changing the relationship between users and the information they rely on.

We’ll also examine how law libraries can demonstrate the value and ROI of quality content to their stakeholders as traditional measures of usage evolve. Content may still be king, but the kingdom is changing. Law librarians and their vendor partners have an important role in shaping what comes next.

In this episode of AALLIn, hosts Andre Davison and Katie Brown take the show on the road at the 2026 AALL Annual Meeting & Conference in Cleveland.
