MEMORANDUM 99-33

 

To:              Deans of Member and Fee-Paid Schools

 

From:          Harry G. Prince

 

Subject:       First Distribution of 1999-2000 Faculty Appointments Register

 

 

            Enclosed is the paper copy version of the first distribution of the fall 1999 Faculty Appointments Register (FAR), containing 496 faculty appointment registrants.  New this year, the FAR is also available as an online database.  Candidates have input their qualifications and experiences directly into a database via the web.  Beginning August 27, 1999, recruiters can access this database 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.  Please note that this database will be accessible to recruiters only if the IP address information form included in Deans Memorandum 99-25, dated July 30, 1999, has been completed and returned to AALS.  If that form has not yet been submitted to AALS, please do so as soon as possible.

 

           Please urge those who handle the FAR to treat the candidate information with confidentiality.  Schools may not share FAR candidate information outside the law school appointments process.  It is also important that schools not contact references 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.
