AALS Site Evaluation Workshop

Go Back

Session Type: AALS Programs

Session Capacity: N/A

Location: Hilton New Orleans Riverside

Room: Fulton

Floor: Third Floor

Member law schools receive comprehensive periodic visits by site teams
made up of law professors, university administrators, and practitioners/judges
as part of the ABA accreditation/AALS membership review process. The AALS
appoints one member (the AALS reporter) to the ABA/AALS site team. The reporter
is a member of the joint team and also writes an additional report for the AALS
focusing on the organization's core values. This workshop is designed for those
who serve, or are interested in serving, as the AALS reporter, as well as
schools that will be visited in the coming academic year. Speakers will discuss
AALS core values, materials available to the AALS reporter, the site visit and
membership review process, and the AALS questionnaire schools must complete
prior to a site visit. The workshop also provides essential information about
the ABA accreditation process, as the AALS reporter also functions as a full
member of the site team and will have responsibility for a portion of the ABA
report.
