Abstract: In this paper it is shown that if a Banach lattice $E$ contains a lattice copy of $l^{1}$ (or $l^{\infty}$), then it contains a lattice-almost isometric copy of $l^{1}$ (resp. $l^{\infty}$). The above result is a lattice version of the well-known results of James and Partington concerning the almost isometric copies of $l^{1}$ and $l^{\infty}$ in Banach spaces.
Keywords: Banach lattice, lattice-almost isometry, copy of $l^{1}$ (or $l^{\infty}$).
