Posters
At the 2005 Annual meeting in San Francisco, the AALS Section on Professional Responsibility sponsored posters on empirical research. The AALS Committee on Sections and the Annual Meeting was delighted by this innovation and decided that all AALS Sections should have the opportunity to sponsor posters at the 2006 AALS Annual Meeting.
The posters would be on a subject area of interest to that particular Section. The AALS Section officers were ask if they wanted to seek, review and judge poster submission for display and presentation at the 2006 Annual Meeting.
As a result, eight AALS Sections have selected over 30 posters for display and presentation at the 2006 AALS Annual Meeting. These posters will be on display throughout the Annual Meeting in the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in the meeting room hallways of the Lobby Level. The posters will also be presented for an hour during the Annual Meeting.
