For those who asked:
"Bender Babies" originally were folks whose grants to attend the AALL
annual meeting were funded by Matthew Bender. For over 50 years now,
Bender (and then LexisNexis) have held a dinner (formerly called the
"Bender Dinner") at the meeting to introduce that year's new "Bender
Babies" -- which now also includes not only the grant recipients but
also students who have received law school or library school
scholarships from LexisNexis. All former "Bender Babies" are invited
to attend, and it's a pretty nice event. Nowadays they don't call
it the "Bender Dinner," but the tradition lives on....
Best regards,
- Lee
