April 28, 1997. Hazel Johnson (Librarian, Lightfoot Franklin & White,

been appointed American Association of Law Libraries' (AALL) official
representative to the American Bar Association's Law Practice Management
Section (ABA-LPM), an ABA entity which provides guidance on how to
manage and market legal practices more efficiently.
Johnson brings much experience to this appointment through her years of
service as a law librarian and as a leader in legal and library
associations. Her most recent AALL achievements include serving as
Chair of the Public Relations Committee, 1994-96 and as a member of the
Private Law Libraries Task Force for the National Conference of Legal
Information Issues, 1994-1995. Johnson is also a member and leader of

Upon appointing Johnson as representative, AALL Private Law Libraries
Special Interest Section Chair Michael Saint-Onge said, "We believe we
have some knowledge and skills that will enrich the work of ABA-LPM.
Hazel is extremely qualified to serve as our representative in this
effort. With her marketing intuition and her knowledge of the
challenges facing the legal profession, she can help us make a real
difference."

professional association, with a membership that topped 385,000 in 1996,
including almost 40,000 dues-paying associates and Law Student Division

The Association has long served a dual role as advocate for the
profession and for the public. The ABA-LPM, with over 20,000 members,
aims to serve the needs of legal professionals in a variety of
settings--from solo practitioners to large firms--who want information
on how to start, develop, run, and maintain their law practices
The American Association of Law Libraries was founded in 1906 to promote
and enhance the value of law libraries to the legal and public
communities, to foster the profession of law librarianship, and to
provide leadership in the field of legal information. Today, with over
4,800 members, the Association represents law librarians and related
professionals who are affiliated with a wide range of institutions: law
firms; law schools; corporate legal departments; courts; and local,
state and federal government agencies.
