The Law Division sponsored a number of outstand- ing sessions that I know many of you had the chance to enjoy. A few of the highlights included: + A stimulating panel, organized by Mike Perkins, on Huey Long and media taxation - the mix of history and contemporary consti- tutional debate was wonderful. * A challenging panel, put together by Diane Borden, about the Clinton-Lewinsky affair and the relationship between gender and reputation. + Our follow-up panel on different voices in textbook authorship. + An inspiring panel, organized by Craig Sanders, on the relationship between teaching and tenure. + Several co-sponsored panels related to the Internet, including panels dealing with intellectual property and teaching, hate speech web sites, and pornography issues. + A variety of other exciting panels and paper sessions. Many thanks to all of the organizers, participants, modera- tors, discussants, and other vital folks who made this year's convention a success. Thanks also to the Division officers - and most particularly to outgoing Division Head Barbara Petersen for her tireless efforts. The Law Division is fortunate to have two outstanding members joining the leadership track this year. Michelle Johnson, now of Marist College, was ratified by the membership to step into the position of vice head and program chair. Michelle has done great work with the Ethics interest group (recently upgraded to full Division status through Michelle's and others' efforts) and is a marvelous addition to our Divi- sion leadership. Another great addition is Sandra Chance, University of Florida, who was elected to the position of clerk and Media Law Notes editor. Sandra is a former media attorney who has recently accepted the job of dir- ector of the Brechner Center for Freedom of Information. We are immensely pleased to have both Michelle and Sandra on board. Let me say a few words about plans for the 2000 Phoenix convention. Michelle Johnson is already gathering programming ideas, and we would certainly like to have your thoughts. Please feel free to contact either of us with any suggestions you may have. Finally, let me say a few words about our Division journal, Com- munication Law and Policy. At the last convention, the Publica- tions Policy Committee, which consists of three appointed Division members, along with the Division head, vice head, and clerk, met with a representative of Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, which publishes the journal. Erlbaum is concerned that the journal's institutional subscrip- tions are not growing at a faster rate. Our journal is doing great things, first under the editorship of Bob Trager, and now under Tom Schwartz, and we need to do everything we can to assure that it both survives and prospers. I'd like to urge each of you to make every effort to contact your on- campus libraries - both general libraries and law libraries - and strongly suggest a subscription. This is of course a time of cut- backs in many library's journal subscriptions, but I think some concerted effort by the Division could have a significant effect.
