The 2025 AALS Annual Meeting will be in San Francisco next January 7-11. The theme, selected by AALS President Melanie Wilson, is “Courage in Action.” The request for program proposals from the Program Committee for the 2025 Annual Meeting is now open. Individual faculty members may submit proposals for several types of Open Submission programs: 

• Open Source: Traditional scholarly programs other than those sponsored by one of the AALS Sections. Due April 8. 
• Discussion Groups: Structured discussions among a small group of invited participants. Attendees are welcome. Due April 8. 
• Arc of Career: Programs that address a broad spectrum of issues related to professional careers of law faculty and administrators. Due April 16. 
• Symposia: Extended sessions (half a day or longer) that focus on in-depth scholarly exploration of a topic of academic interest. Due May 6. 
• Hot Topics: Flexible programs on topics that emerged too late in the year to be included in other categories. Due October 14. 

The Program Committee encourages organizers to consider the theme in framing their proposals, though it is not a requirement for submission or acceptance. The Committee also urges organizers to think creatively about session formats beyond a series of 10-20 minute presentations from a panel of speakers. 

Please visit the annual meeting website for the complete details and to submit a proposal.
