UDSL Active at AALS Conference

UDSL was well represented at the American Association of Law Schools annual conference held January 6-10 in New Orleans. Dean Lisa Kloppenberg attended a portion of the conference and was included in a dinner where about six deans interacted with the new American Bar Association president, Carolyn Lamm, a partner at White & Case. Dean of Students Lori Shaw spoke to approximately 500 people about assessment in legal education.

A number of UDSL faculty members also attended. Assistant Professor Thaddeus Hoffmeister was selected as one of four newer scholars nationally to present a scholarly paper. His paper is titled An Insurrection Act for the 21st Century. Professor Andrea Seielstad contributed as a section leader for Clinical Education in New Orleans. Associate Professor Jeannette Cox is also serving as a section officer for the New Law Professors Section.
