The AALS Annual Meeting is the premier gathering for law school faculty, deans, and professionals, organized by the Association of American Law Schools. The 2021 meeting, held virtually from January 5 to 9, centered on the theme "The Power of Words," emphasizing the significant impact language has within the legal profession and education.
Key topics addressed during the meeting included the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on civil rights, disability law, the economy, executive powers, eviction, voting, and workers' rights. Additionally, sessions explored the pandemic's influence on law schools, particularly concerning online and hybrid teaching methods.
The event featured various networking opportunities, including section networking events and interactive discussions. Notable sessions included the inaugural Awards Ceremony, where the AALS Impact Award was presented to five deans for creating the Law Deans Antiracist Clearinghouse. The meeting also honored outstanding law faculty and provided platforms for discussing pressing legal issues.
This meeting is essential for law school faculty, deans, and legal professionals seeking to stay informed about current challenges and developments in legal education and practice. Attendees benefit from engaging with peers, sharing research, and participating in discussions that shape the future of legal education.
