SANTA CLARA UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW — The Association of American Law Schools (AALS) is an important accrediting body for law schools and a leading professional organization dedicated to excellence in legal education. In keeping with its tradition of leadership in legal education, members of the Santa Clara Law community participate often in AALS programs and activities. True to form, Santa Clara Law faculty and administrators figured prominently in the AALS Annual Meeting, which took place virtually last week. AALS President, and President of The College of the Holy Cross, Vincent D. Rougeau (formerly Dean of Boston College Law School), welcomed attendees to the virtual gathering, and shared this year’s theme of “Freedom, Equality and the Common Good.” He thanked participants and attendees for the many ways in which these discussions, legal education, and the law will play instrumental roles in strengthening Democracy and the Rule of Law, now and in the future.
