MEMORANDUM 04-33

TO: Deans and Associate Deans of Academic Affairs of AALS Member and Fee Paid Schools

FROM: Jane La Barbera

SUBJECT: AALS Section Membership for Law School Professional Staff and Law Teachers not in AALS Directory of Law Teachers

As you know, full time faculty have the opportunity to sign up for section memberships when they complete their biographical form for the AALS Directory of Law Teachers. We are aware that some law school professional staff and part time, temporary or adjunct faculty (e.g. directors of institutional advancement, deans of student services, and libraries) do not have the opportunity to sign up for AALS section memberships since they may not included in the AALS Directory’s biographical section. We would appreciate your distributing the attached form to offer section memberships to these individuals. There is no charge for membership in sections unless the section charges dues. Only the Clinical Section requires dues for membership. Becoming a section member assures inclusion on the section mailing lists for newsletters and other mailings.
