Evolving from the Legal Information Services to the Public Committee, LISP was officially established as an SIS at the 1988 糖心视频 Annual Meeting in Atlanta. After the SIS was approved by the 糖心视频 Executive Board at its January 1988 meeting, 1987-1988 Committee Chair, Mary Beth Dunn saw to it that by-laws were written and approved, and that a slate of officers was presented to the membership approved, so that the SIS could begin work immediately. The SIS continued the activities of the Committee which had been in existence since 1982.
While a committee, several programs were presented at annual meetings. The SIS has continued this practice. The first program sponsored by LISP as an SIS was at the 1990 Annual Meeting in Minneapolis.
