7 LISP Newsl. 1 (1994-1995)

handle is hein.lbr/lisp0007 and id is 1 raw text is: American AssocIation of Law Ubrerle. LISP NEWSLETTER LEGAL INFORMATION SERVICE TO THE VOLUME 7 NO. 1 PUBLIC SPECIAL INTEREST SECTION FALL 1994 LETTER FROM THE CHAIR It was wonderful to meet with you all in Seattle. Unlike other organizations, we only meet once a year, so our meetings are a time for renewing our ties, seeing old friends, and making new ones. I want to thank Frank Weston especially for agreeing to edit this newsletter for another year. A good editor is hard to find. As you can see, Frank does a superb job and turns out one of the best AALL newsletters. Another thank you goes to Jody Armstrong. Jody worked for over three years on our Pro Bono Project. She kept up-to-date a database of legal service delivery teams. Jody has promised to continue to publicize the project through her local Chapter newsletters. She supports the establishment of an award for AALL members for outstanding service pro bono project volunteers. I have forwarded Jody's suggestion to the AALL Board of Directors and hopefully a public service award will be offered every year by AALL. Among our LISP members are many volunteers who are already deserving of the award. Beth Schneider compiled the list of the original project contacts and also deserves a bow. The Chicago, Southern California, and New York Chapters of AALL all have healthy, ongoing pro bono support committees. Another development is the establishment of the first Chapter LISP committee. The Southwestern Chapter of AALL (SWALL) formed the committee with Beth Schneider as Chair. The impetus of the creation of the committee was, in part, financial. When SWALL established itself as a nonprofit corporation, the members realized that they would have a difficult time justifying non-profit tax status if their Chapter did not support some activity in which members did not have a direct gain. I hope that this new committee is only the first of many LISP committees within the AALL chapters. Only through cooperative efforts such as these, can we truly establish a national program of law library service to the public. Maria Protti Chair VOLUME 7 NO 1
