Join us in New Orleansfor the 2019 Annual Meeting ofthe Association of American Law Schools
It is my pleasure to invite you to New Orleans on January 2-6, 2019. It is certainly an exciting time to be a legal scholar. As public opinions and political divisions become increasingly polarized, we look forward to exploring with you the ways our legal skills can contribute to this year’s theme of “Building Bridges.”
The mission of AALS and, by extension, the purpose of the Annual Meeting, is to uphold and advance excellence in legal education. What better way to begin a new year than by immersing ourselves in an environment and community where we can make the connections and have the conversations necessary to advance these goals?
Our schedule of programs has been put together to include not only a broad range of issues, but a variety of formats from distinguished speakers to small group discussions. We welcome diverse viewpoints in both AALS programs and the programs of our 103 Sections. No other gathering of law professors and professional staff is as large or complete a representation of the varying perspectives that constitute our legal academy.
We have made every effort to keep the meeting affordable. We have continued a fifty percent discount on registration fees for new and for retired faculty. Everyone who registers before November 14 can claim an early-bird discount on their registration fee. AALS has negotiated a rate of $160 per night for a single or double occupancy room in our headquarters hotel, the Hilton New Orleans Riverside. Your budget is important to us, and with these significant discounts and benefits, we hope you will be able to participate in the meeting this year.
With all best wishes,
Judy Areen,AALS Executive Director

Building BridgesAALS President Wendy Collins PerdueDean, University of Richmond School of Law
One of the most vexing problems facing our nation today is the deep political polarization that has infected civic life. It is not just that people strongly disagree about important social and policy issues—that has always been true. But finding common ground has become harder because there are simply fewer political moderates—people whose views cross party lines on at least some issues—and because our political discourse has become increasingly disparaging and personal.
As our society struggles with this problem of deep polarization, lawyers and law schools have an important role to play. Lawyers are, after all, in the dispute resolution business. Resolving conflict is central to what we do. Today, perhaps more than ever before, the skills that we as lawyers have, and we as law professors teach, are of critical importance.
Lawyers understand how to structure decision-making and dispute resolution processes. We understand the importance of the opportunity to be heard and other aspects of fundamental fairness. We understand the importance of considering both sides and crediting the merits of opposing views. We understand the importance of facts—the ones we can prove, not merely the ones we wish to be true. And we understand the importance of inviting people with opposing views to the table to get them talking to each other in the first place.
Lawyers are not only comfortable navigating a world of conflict and disagreement, but they also approach disagreements with a methodology that is built on recognizing the strength of the opposing views. Legal pedagogy, like good lawyering, emphasizes the importance of developing a deep, even empathetic understanding of the arguments on the other side. Our case books include dissents which force students to confront opposing arguments. We constantly push our students away from the psychological comfort of certainty to that uneasy place where opposing views loom large.
The point is not that arguments should be drained of emotion. Where the stakes are high, emotions will run high. But lawyers understand that disputes, even on matters upon which convictions are deeply held, need not be personal, and that it is possible to separate the substance of an argument from the person making that argument. Lawyers likewise understand that it is possible to disagree without being disagreeable—indeed, we are admonished to do just that in our principles of professionalism.
Lawyers are not social workers, but they are, as Lon Fuller put it, architects of social structure. And in that role as architects, they can be—we can be—enormously helpful in reconnecting a fractured world. That is to say, in building bridges.
So that is my theme for the year: building bridges. I hope that we can put on display our traditions of professionalism, civility, and reasoned disagreement, and inspire the next generation to “think like a lawyer” about society’s problems: to listen, consider, reason, collaborate, resolve, and even heal.

Program HighlightsMuch of the programming at the Annual Meeting is organized by the 103 AALS Sections, with the rest organized by the Program Committee, the Arc of Career Committee, and the AALS President. See the live program online for schedule details. We are sure you will find something of interest.
Here are a few highlights of the program that we are especially excited about:
Thursday, January 3• Justice Edwin Cameron from the Constitutional
Court of South Africa will join AALS President Wendy Perdue at the Opening Plenary Program on Building Bridges at 8:30 am.
• Wendy Perdue will welcome a distinguished group of international legal scholars for the AALS President’s Panel on Law and Reconciliation at 10:30 am.
• We will present to past AALS President Michael H. Olivas the AALS Triennial Award for Lifetime Service to Legal Education and the Law, our highest honor, at the AALS House of Representatives meeting at 3:30 pm.
Friday, January 4• Friday will start strong with an exciting AALS Symposium on Court Debt: Fines, Fees, and Bail, Circa 2020 at 9 am. • Do not miss a panel of current and former elected officials discussing the impact of polarization on our politics at the AALS
President’s Panel on Bridging the Divide of Political Polarization: A Conversation Among Elected Officials at 3:30 pm.
Throughout• Arc of Career programs have been
specifically designed for faculty at various stages of their careers. Topics this year include preparing for life beyond the legal academy, academia and direct action, seeking office from the legal academy, and what to make of student evaluations.
• Discussion Groups facilitate scholarly discussion and engagement with a small group of invited faculty. If you’re not scheduled to be a discussant, you may still observe sessions on topics such as learning outcomes that encourage cultural competency, gender inequity, cross-generational teaching, insider trading and cryptoassets, race and class, and the future of sexual harassment.
• Open Source Programs cover traditional scholarly topics outside of section programming. This year, consider attending sessions on energy justice, equity, judicial supremacy, rural access to justice, and attorneys general.

Networking Opportunities Attending the Annual Meeting is as much about making connections with peers, mentors, and guests as it is about scholarship. You’ll have plenty of time to do both. A brief selection of events, both formal and informal, includes:
Wednesday, January 2• For first-time attendees (or second-, or even third-
time), connect with other newbies and learn how to get the most out of the meeting at What is AALS and Why Does It Matter for My Career? And How Do I Get the Most Out of the Annual Meeting? at 5:30 pm.
• If you attended the AALS Workshop for New Law School Teachers this year, the reunion is on! Join the AALS Reception for New Law Teachers at 6:30 pm.
Thursday, January 3• Enjoy refreshments and light appetizers while mixing
and mingling with the exhibitors and your colleagues from law schools across the country at the classic Opening Reception in the Exhibit Hall at 4:30 pm.
Saturday, January 5• Minority law teachers, don’t miss your opportunity to
obtain a guide to tenure, tailored for faculty of color at the daylong Workshop for Pretenured Law School Teachers of Color at 8:30 am.
Sunday, January 6• Early-rising Section officers should take the
opportunity to attend the annual Section Officers Breakfast. Share ideas with leadership of other Sections and receive in-person support and guidance from the AALS Section Services Manager.
Throughout• We all need caffeine. Coffee with Colleagues breaks
happen several times per day, and are an ideal time to schedule relaxed, informal conversations with necessary connections, or just catch up with old friends.
• Exhibitors and sponsors are not only valuable supporters of the legal academy and AALS community, they may also be the key to your next book deal. Take advantage of time in the Exhibit Hall whenever possible.
• Celebrate the successes of the past year and have invaluable in-person face time with your communities at Section breakfasts and luncheons—see page 15 for a list of planned events.
• Catch up with your current and former colleagues at law school receptions.
