Faculty members and professional staff from any law school that subscribes as an AALS International Affiliate are eligible for regular membership in the AALS Section on International Legal Exchange. of fee-paid Mexican law schools, and fee-paid Canadian law schools recognized by a provincial law society, are eligible for regular membership in the Section on North American Cooperation.

If within 60 days of mailing, ten member schools express objection to the regulation, it shall not become effective, but shall be laid before the next Annual Meeting for approval or disapproval. If objection is not so expressed, the regulation shall be a continuingly authoritative indication of Association policy unless modified by action at an Annual Meeting or by subsequent Executive Committee resolution.
