MEMORANDUM 02-38
September 20, 2002
| To: | Deans of Member and Fee-Paid Schools |
| From: | Veryl Victoria Miles, Deputy Director |
| Subject: | Second Distribution of 2002-2003 Faculty Appointments Register |
Enclosed is the paper copy version of the second distribution of the fall 2003 Faculty Appointments Register (FAR) containing 133 faculty appointment registrants. The FAR is also available as an online database. Candidates have input their qualifications and experiences directly into a database via the internet. Beginning September 20, 2002, recruiters can access the second distribution by visiting www.aals.org/recruit/ and clicking on the “candidate search” link. Recruiters can then use search criteria to find candidates to invite to interview. A number of candidates also have submitted supplemental resumes, which can be viewed online in the Recruiters’ database.
Several candidates who were listed in the first distribution have submitted new forms with updated information. Their previous forms are no longer accessible in the database. Candidates in this category are identified on the attached page.
Please note that this database will be accessible to recruiters only by using the assigned usernames and passwords attached to Deans Memo 02-28 from Associate Director Jane La Barbera dated August 9, 2002. If that memo has not yet been received, please contact AALS as soon as possible.
The Candidate information must be handled in a manner to protect the confidentiality of candidates. Schools may not share FAR candidate information outside the law school appointments process. It is also very important that schools not contact a present employer until authorized by the candidate when the candidate has checked off on the form "Do Not Contact Unless Authorized." Candidates have a legitimate interest in not risking unauthorized contact with their employer. Please take steps to insure that those involved in your school’s hiring process agree to protect the candidate’s confidentiality.
The next distribution of the candidate forms received in our office by September 20 will be mailed on or before October 4.
Unless a registrant requests otherwise, all candidate forms received after September 20 will be made available to recruiting teams, together with all other forms previously received, at the Faculty Recruitment Conference. This year’s Conference will be held at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in Washington, D.C., October 24-26, 2002.
