AALS has a dual mission: it both represents most of the nation’s law schools and serves as the learned society for legal educators and law school professional staff. The association hosts more than 100 free sections for law school faculty, administrators, and staff that are organized around various academic disciplines, affinity groups, and areas of professional interest.
The sections present programs at the AALS Annual Meeting and work throughout the year to engage their members through newsletters, discussion lists, and webinars. They also host awards, offer mentoring programs for junior faculty, and compile teaching resources, among other activities.
