Mr. Johnson, who died in January 1994, was Director of the Legal
Librarian segment of LIS at Mead Data Central and
a long-time law library supporter. He believed that
librarians are "the only ones who know how
real users use real information." Optimistic
about the role of librarians in the future, Mr.
Johnson believed that law librarians would assume
even greater responsibility in the expanding electronic-networked
environment.
Mr. Johnson
viewed his role as the voice of librarians at LexisNexisTM where
he began a successful law school program that prepares law school
students for their careers. He also participated in programs at
LexisNexisTM that are viewed by librarians as especially significant
educational opportunities such as the annual TRIPLL Conference,
which focuses on legal research training in law libraries.

The George A. Strait Minority Scholarship Endowment is awarded to
college graduates with law library experience who are members of
a minority group and are degree candidates in accredited library
or law schools.
Established
in 2001 by AALL and with a $150,000 pledge from West Group, the
minority scholarship is awarded annually to minority students who
best embody the career goals of the law librarian profession.
George A. Strait
(1914-1989) was an outstanding law librarian and long-time AALL
member. He held several titles at the Harvard Law School Library
during a twenty-year span (1956-1976). After leaving Harvard, he
was Director of the Law Library and Professor of Law at the University
of Iowa College of Law. In recognition of his career achievements,
George Strait was awarded the AALL (now Marian Gould Gallagher)
Distinguished Service Award in 1989, and in 1990 the AALL Executive
Board made the minority stipend a permanent part of the Association's
scholarship program and named it in his honor.
