On Wednesday, while the rest of us are returning to work after shaking out New Year's cobwebs the day before, faculty and deans from more than 100 law schools nationwide will descend on the Hilton in New York for the ninth annual conference of the American Association of Law Schools.
All four of Minnesota's law schools will be well-represented at the conference, sending not only their deans (and former deans, in some cases), but also several faculty members to take in the five-day event.
"It's very useful," said William Mitchell College of Law Dean Eric Janus. "It's a good opportunity for networking, sharing thoughts and catching up with other legal educators. It has a combination of panels on legal education, law school governance and substantive legal areas."
The overriding theme of this year's AALS conference is change: the internationalization of legal practice, the growing problem of student debt and the escalating need for "e-expertise" among both law students and faculty.
But many of the deans will be most interested in presentations and discussions that are pertinent to their schools' missions.
"We spend most of our time in our field of scholarship, and we mostly go to presentations that are doctrinally focused rather than covering big-picture issues," said Hamline University School of Law Dean Jon Garon.
