The AALS sponsors law teaching clinics, promotes programming to exchange new ideas about teaching and scholarship, and publishes the Journal of Legal Education, which addresses the issues confronting legal educators and serving as an outlet for emerging areas of scholarship. In addition, the AALS provides faculty recruitment services, and through its Resource Corps, assists schools in developing the capacity for collegial deliberation and decision making. The AALS is the legal education’s principal representative to the federal government and to other national higher education organizations and learned societies.
