Home Deans' Memos MEMORANDUM 98-45
October 5, 1998
| To: | Deans of Member and Fee-Paid Schools |
| From: | Carl C. Monk |
| Subject: | "Teachers of the Year" Reception at AALS Annual Meeting in New Orleans, Thursday, January 7, 1999, 6:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. |
As you know, one of the roles of the AALS is to serve as the learned society for law teachers. With this in mind we have consistently encouraged excellence in scholarship and teaching. Since 1985 we have recognized excellence in scholarship of faculty who have been in law teaching less than seven years with the Scholarly Papers competition. To highlight the importance of excellence in teaching, we recognize and honor law faculty who have been selected as "outstanding teachers" at their law schools by listing their names in the Annual Meeting Luncheon program and the February Newsletter, and by hosting a reception for them at the Annual Meeting.
The reception will be held on Thursday, January 7, 1999 from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. If your school annually selects an "outstanding teacher," please submit the name of your 1997-98 outstanding teacher so we can invite him or her to this reception.
Please complete the attached form and return it to the AALS office no later than Friday, November 6 so that we may send all honorees invitations to the reception. You may send your response via fax to Annette Headley at (202) 296-8869.
