New law school teachers are the future of the legal academy. To encourage these legal educators to take advantage of the networking and professional development opportunities at the 2017 AALS Annual Meeting in San Francisco, AALS is again offering a 50 percent discounted registration rate for law school faculty in their first three years of teaching.
There are many sessions focusing on the issues and concerns shared by new law faculty. Several AALS sections have planned special programs that bring together junior and senior law faculty to help newer faculty develop their scholarship and teaching skills and connect with their more experienced colleagues. Other sessions at the meeting will consider how new law teachers can get the most out of becoming involved in AALS and succeed at each phase of their legal career.
Additional program details can be found at www.aals.org/am2017/program/.
