The Law Library Association of Saint Louis is unique among law libraries.  It is both a membership library and a public law library.  The library’s mission is to serve several different constituents -- the judiciary who preside over the Twenty-Second Judicial Circuit, attorneys in the St. Louis area, the library’s members and public patrons.

Juneteenth has evolved to be a celebration of freedom, a time of reflection on our history, and a time for education on civil rights and racial inequality.  Originally, it was a celebration of the specific date that the news of emancipation reached the last enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, on June 19, 1865.
