The American Association of Law Libraries (AALL) is a nonprofit educational organization with over 5,000 members across the United States.

[4] Small never graduated high school or attended college, yet he successfully served the Iowa State Library for over forty years.

Hicks believed an expanded Journal could cover multiple aspects of law librarianship, ranging from scholarly articles to industry news.

[8] Parma was also the first law librarian for the University of California, serving as director of UC Berkeley's Boalt Hall library from 1911 to 1935.

[11] Daniel faced significant discrimination, with AALL staff frequently expressing resentment at his requests for equal accommodations in travel and lodging in attending conferences throughout the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s.

[14] The AALL and its members have a long history of proactively influencing policy initiatives in the legal information field.

This decade saw the association helping to provide input and shape several important policy issues such as the 1975 Federal Trade Commission's Guides for the Law Book Industry, the Copyright Act of 1976, and the 1972 and 1978 amendments to Title 44 of the United States Code.

[16] This event consists of visits to House and Senate offices to raise the profile of information policy issues pertinent to the AALL.

"[19] According to AALL, a survey they conducted "revealed that members of the public, librarians, researchers, students, attorneys, and small business owners continue to rely on the print" version of the Federal Register.

[19] AALL also argued that the lack of print versions of the Federal Register and CFR would mean the 15 percent of Americans who don't use the internet would lose their access to that material.

[20] Additionally this year the AALL joined the American Civil Liberties Union and several other organizations on an amicus brief in response to National Veterans Legal Services Program et al v. United States of America supporting the idea that the First Amendment guarantees the public a right of access to judicial records through PACER.
