LexisNexis™ /John R. Johnson Memorial Scholarship

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.

AALL and West Group George A. Strait Minority Scholarship Endowment

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.
