A chapter of the American Association of Law Libraries
 

June Vendor Forum

The Houston Area Law Librarians (HALL) began as an informal group meeting at lunch to exchange ideas and suggestions. The group, called the Houston Law Librarians, was founded in 1973 by librarians representing libraries of six law firms, four corporations, three law schools, and one city agency. HALL was organized formally in 1978 and became a chapter of the American Association of Law Libraries (AALL) in 1981.
