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.
