Joint Committee on Academic Freedom
The AALS Section on Clinical Education and the Clinical Legal Education Association have established a Joint Committee on Academic Freedom (JAFC). Amid larger challenges at the local, state, and national levels, we stand as a resource for clinicians across the country, committed to protecting your essential work and the values of academic freedom.
The JAFC provides confidential advocacy, expert guidance, and a robust support network for those facing threats to their clinics or positions. Together, we reaffirm the critical role of clinical legal education in advancing justice and serving communities, and we stand ready to ensure that no clinician walks alone in this fight.
Should you have questions for the committee or wish to discuss any relevant issues, please feel free to reach out to the chair, Gautam Hans, at [email protected] or any committee member.

Joint Statements from CLEA and AALS Clinical Section on Congressional Attack on Academic Freedom
Dear Colleagues,
We write to share the attached joint statement from the Board of the Clinical Legal Education Association (CLEA) and the Executive Committee of the AALS Section on Clinical Legal Education regarding the recent rescission of Professor Emily Suski’s deanship at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville.
Professor Suski, an experienced clinician and expert on transgender rights, signed an amicus brief supporting the claims of a transgender youth before the U.S. Supreme Court. Political actors in the state of Arkansas pressured the university to revoke her offer as a direct result of her constitutionally protected right to share her expertise in a legal controversy of public importance.
This attack is the latest in a series of federal and state attacks on the academic freedom of law faculty. While this move may have been intended to silence the legal academy from engaging in public discourse, it should only strengthen our resolve to continue our work as legal scholars and clinicians.
We encourage you to share the statement with your law school leadership and broader academic communities. We also invite you to stay engaged as we continue working collectively to defend clinical legal education and protect the professional responsibilities we owe to our clients, students, and communities.
In solidarity,
Allison Freedman, Co-Chair of the AALS Clinical Section Executive Committee
Nira Geevargis, Co-Chair of the AALS Clinical Section Executive Committee
Kathryn Banks, Co-President of CLEA
Neha Lall, Co-President of CLEA
On April 2, 2025, the AALS Clinical Section Executive Committee issued a joint statement from the Board of the Clinical Legal Education Association (CLEA)regarding the March 2025 request for records from Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law’s Bluhm Legal Clinic by the House Committee on Education and the Workforce. In the statement, the Executive Committee and CLEA condemn the congressional inquiry—specifically targeting Professor Sheila Bedi and the Community Justice and Civil Rights Clinic—as a serious threat to academic freedom and the rule of law. Please click here to read the statement.
On July 15, 2025, the House Committee on Education and the Workforce held a hearing in which elected officials publicly targeted Professor Ramzi Kassem, a fellow clinical law professor who runs the Creating Law Enforcement Accountability & Responsibility (CLEAR) Clinic at the CUNY School of Law, for his representation of Mahmoud Khalil. In the statement, the Executive Committee and CLEA condemn the remarks—specifically targeting Professor Kassem—as a dangerous escalation of political interference in legal education. Please click here to read the statement.
Message from the 2026 Co-Chairs
Dear Clinical Colleagues,
As the semester begins, many of us have returned to our classrooms and students, buoyed by the optimism that accompanies new beginnings. Yet that enthusiasm is tempered by the challenges that we continue to face. Over the past year, assaults on academic freedom, the rule of law, and diversity efforts have continued and, in many cases, intensified. At the same time, clinical and experiential faculty remain on the front lines, advancing justice, promoting equity and inclusion, and strengthening democracy in our communities and on our campuses. This work is vital, but it can also place experiential faculty squarely in the crosshairs of those who seek to undermine academic freedom. Please know that the AALS Clinical Section stands with you and is committed to supporting you and the essential work you do.
Experiential faculty continue to lead efforts to implement ABA Standards 303(b) (professional identity) and 303(c) (bias, cross-cultural competency, and racism). With the NextGen Bar Examination, clinical legal educators remain central to law schools’ efforts to prepare law students for the exam and for practice. Meanwhile, experiential faculty are confronting the evolving challenges within our profession, proposing new ideas to address technology and AI, alternative licensing pathways, and well-being within the profession.
At the Section’s business meeting during the January AALS Annual Meeting, attendees identified key priorities for the Executive Committee to guide the year ahead, which are outlined below. We welcome your continued engagement as we work to advance these goals.
- Supporting Experiential Faculty and Protecting Academic Freedom: The Clinical Section and CLEA are committed to supporting the work of experiential faculty and protecting academic freedom. The Joint Academic Freedom Committee (JAFC) formed by the Section and CLEA, continues to provide confidential advocacy, expert guidance, and a robust support network for those facing threats to their clinics or positions.
- Enhancing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI): The Clinical Section remains committed to modeling best practices for DEI in our own organization, developing leadership pathways and a sense of belonging for all in the clinical community. We will continue to build resources and strengthen support for experiential faculty implementing ABA Standard 303(c) related to bias, racism, and cross-cultural competency.
- Strengthening Section Committees: The Clinical Section’s 13 committees are the core of our success. Building on the work of our predecessors, Julie Dahlstrom and Natalie Nanasi, our aim this year is to ensure that our committees are best equipped to do their important work. By bolstering our committees, we will not only ensure efficient and equitable processes and communication, but allow our committees to continue to provide relevant, high-quality programming and guidance to our members.
- Increasing Visibility of the Clinical Section. As the second largest Section of the AALS, we will continue to elevate the achievements, scholarship, and teaching of experiential faculty. The Section will utilize its resources to promote robust programming at the AALS Clinical Conference, AALS Annual Meeting, and other important convenings.
- Providing Support to Experiential Faculty Members Throughout Career Arc: The Section will increase opportunities to learn about pathways to leadership across a career in experiential education. This will include building new opportunities to convene, learn, and connect with faculty across career stages and institutions.
Joining us in our work this year are the other members of the 2026 Executive Committee:
- Co-Chair-Elect and Co-Secretary: Gautam Hans (Cornell)
- Co-Chair-Elect and Co-Secretary: Beth Locker (Vermont)
- Treasurer: Susan Hazeldean (Brooklyn)
- Immediate Past Co-Chair: Julie Dahlstrom (Boston)
- Immediate Past Co-Chair: Natalie Nanasi (SMU)
- Member: Sarah Boonin (Suffolk)
- Member: Rachel Camp (Georgetown)
- Member: Phuong-Uyen Campbell (St. Thomas)
- Member: Sherley Cruz (Tennessee)
- Member: Sarah Gerwig (Mercer)
On behalf of the Executive Committee, thank you for the work you have done and will do in these difficult times. We look forward to providing you with opportunities for connection, support, and sustenance over the coming year, including at the Clinical Conference in Portland this May.
