Colorado Association of Law Libraries Logo
The Colorado Association of Law Libraries (CoALL) began in 1977
as the Colorado Consortium of Law Libraries. In 1984 the organization
petitioned the American Association of Law Libraries to become an
official chapter of that organization. Their petition was accepted,
and the name was changed to Colorado Association of Law Libraries
to reflect their new affiliation.
The main goals of CoALL are to “(a) promote librarianship;
(b) develop and increase the usefulness of law libraries; (c) cultivate
the science of law librarianship; (d) foster a spirit of cooperation
among the members of the profession, particularly those in Colorado.”
The Association has supported its members through a variety of professional
activities, including mentoring and grant programs and continuing
education. One of its main activities is an annual Legal Institute,
which consists of a day-long workshop on various topics of concern
to law librarians.
CoALL continues to play a vital role in law librarianship in the
state. More information about the organization can be found at the
website.
