and the AALS Equal Justice Project
Throughout this academic year, the AALS, as part of its Equal Justice Project, is sponsoring a series of regional Colloquia being held in law schools across the country. The goal of the Project is to explore the many ways in which law schools and law faculty can promote the ideal of equal justice. Much has been learned through this process. Exciting work is being done, and there is much more that we can accomplish.
Our plenary session provides the opportunity to explore what we are learning midway through the Project. Join us for a lively, interactive program featuring the work of an impressive array of colleagues. Utilizing a multi-media presentation approach, our discussion leaders will highlight a sample of the innovative scholarship, teaching and institutional efforts currently underway. Together, we will examine the work that is being done, start to build a repository of curricular tools that can be used in our work, and chart the next steps necessary creatively to fulfill our responsibilities to our students, our profession, and our society.
