By Wendy

AALS   President


Iam  deeply
  honored to

or current
colleagues from Richmond, and still others I know only through
your scholarship and reputation. It is my hope that this year will

2018 Annual Meeting

Highlights

San  Diego's sunny days and ocean breeze were host to 2,300 law
   faculty, deans, professional staff, and exhibitors who gathered
January 3-6 at the 2018 AALS Annual Meeting. The unifying
theme of the meeting, chosen last year by 2017 AALS President
Paul Marcus, was Access to Justice. He explained that law
schools have a story to tell about their participation in closing
gaps in both civil and criminal justice. Ours is a story less well-
publicized' he said at the time, ...I intend to tell our story to our
colleagues, our students, and to judges, lawyers, and the broader
community. It is quite some story.

President's Report

on 2017

First  Meeting of the AALS House
of  Representatives

By Paul Marcus, 2017  AALS  President

Ayear   ago, I stood before you and expressed my appreciation
    for the opportunity to serve as AALS president. I also
mused about whether we would see any major changes develop
in the next 12 months. Well, I am happy to say that not much
has happened that is noteworthy since last January-it's really
been quite uneventful everywhere. Just more of the same
old, same old.

Well, maybe not.
