Get involved, they say at the members' meeting. The question
you may have-I certainly did when I was new to the division-
is how.
You don't think you can run for office because, from what you
see at the members' meeting, the election looks, well, rigged.
Yet you are reluctant to believe that because, after all, this is a
group that highly values the democratic process. Surely it can't
operate like a communist regime. ...
It doesn't, at least in that there is surely no central plan. All it
takes to get involved is to look for a task you'd like to do, and
then step up and volunteer.
For starters, you might consider writing an article for Media
Law Notes. It's a clearly defined task that you can work into

Thanks for a great
convention

A number of people have told me that they believe the
2005 AEJMC conference in San Antonio was one of the
best they have ever attended. I concur. It seemed this year
that all of the divisions, including Law, went the extra mile
to put together outstanding panels, pre-conference
workshops, and paper sessions.
We have a great locale for the 2006 convention - San
Francisco - so let's begin working on making the program
as exciting as the city. If you have not already done so, get
your ideas for panel sessions and pre-conference
workshops to Jennifer Henderson at Trinity University
(Texas) as soon as possible. Her e-mail address is
Jennifer.Henderson@trinity. edu.
We have a little unfinished business left over from San
Antonio and we need to start work on some issues for San
Francisco.
Thanks. I promised in an earlier column that I would
thank, by name, all of the people who helped put the
program together for Law Division panel and paper
sessions in 2005. I now realize the folly of making that
promise. There are so many people who contributed to
making the Law Division programming a success that I fear
I will either run out of room or forget someone. Instead, let
me thank categories of people.
