Through its sponsorship and involvement in AALL programs, West Group has long taken an active interest in education and professional development for law librarians. The company has partnered with AALL for such innovative programs as a worldwide satellite educational videoconference and the AALL Professional Education Series. West Group has also developed and underwritten education programs for regional AALL chapters and events. Thanks to their breadth of resources and commitment to the profession, we are hopeful that the minority scholarship program will open professional opportunities for deserving students. 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.
Preference is given to individuals with previous service to or interest in law librarianship.
