    Administrative history

    The County of York Law Association was established at a meeting held at Osgoode Hall on December 17th, 1885, and was incorporated on December 30th, 1885. The purpose of the Association was "the formation and support of a law library for the use of its members to be kept and maintained in the court house in the said City of Toronto and to provide for the general interests of the profession and good feeling and harmony among members". In 1996 the name of the Association was changed to the Metropolitan Toronto Lawyers Association. The name of the Association changed again in 2004 to the Toronto Lawyers Association.
