The Central Florida Association of Law Libraries (CFALL) is an association of law librarians and those interested in law librarianship in West Central Florida -- primarily the Tampa Bay area, but we have members as far east as Orlando and as far south as Sarasota. We are committed to providing leadership in the field of legal information and cultivating a spirit of cooperation among the association's members.

CFALL grew out of monthly Wednesday luncheon meetings of a group of law librarians in the Tampa area. They continued to meet informally for about 5 years, and then finally met for a formal organizational meeting at Holland & Knight in March of 1985. Bylaws were formulated, and there was a paid membership of 50. Rosalyn Gibbs was elected first president of the group, with Anne Ellis as vice-president. Programming that first year included a tour of the new facility at Commerce Clearing House in St. Petersburg, as well as a visit to the Charles A. Dana Law Library at Stetson College of Law. The organization has met continuously since that time, as an independent group, providing educational and financial support to the law library community of the central Florida area. Membership is open to anyone interested in law libraries.
