In the first President’s Message of the new year, Refugio Acker-Ramirez welcomes the new board and encourages members to get to know their neighboring law libraries. Kristie Chamorro signs off from the Legal Tech Update after five and a half years with one last roundup of legal AI news, and the issue includes the July Business/Crossover Meeting minutes and the 2026–2027 officers and committees.
