Berger Thirty-four years ago, I spent several bleak December days at Chicago's snow-bound Edgewater Beach Hotel, for years the site of the AALS Annual Meeting, at the cusp of a teaching career that has led to this day. I little dreamed that I would ever be standing here, ready to accept the reins which, in that era, Erwin Griswold, Bill Prosser, Frank Strong, Page Keeton, Sam Thur- man, and my colleague since 1962, Walter Gellhorn, would hold in their distinguished hands. Honored by that tradition, and privileged as A President Curtis L Berer, a member of the Executive Com- Columbia. His address to the mittee by my association with our House of Representatives is printed contemporary leaders, Emma here in its entirety. Jordan, Bob Gorman, and Tom Morgan, I accept your presidency with pride and gratitude, and with the resolve to be worthy of your trust. Changes in legal education I should like to use this occasion to recall some of the changes that the AALS and legal education have seen during my teaching lifetime, to discuss the issues that face the Association and our member schools today, and to set forth my presidential goals. All of that, you will happily hear, I intend to do in less than 20 minutes. The Association had 109 member schools in 1958; today, we have 158. The 1958 meetings, which included the meat mar- ket, drew about 900 persons; but many of those, like myself, were continued on page 2 Printing and Distribution Courtesy of Foundation Press, Inc. House passes one of two proposed bylaw amendments During the 1993 Annual Meeting, the House of Repre- sentatives had before it proposed revisions to Bylaw Sections 7-2(b) and 7-3(b) concerning sanctions and Bylaw Section 6-3(a), Dura- tion of the J.D. Program. The House adopted the proposed changes concerning sanctions but tabled consideration of the pro- posed changes in Bylaw Section 6-3(a) pending further discussion of concerns raised about the pro- posed changes at the House meeting. Those concerns related primarily to the amount of credit schools should be permitted to award towards the J.D. degree for credits earned at a foreign law school. 0 What's Inside...
