Two UT College of Law professors presented at the annual meeting of the Association of American Law Schools (AALS) in New York City on Jan. 2-5. The AALS Annual Meeting is the largest gathering of law faculty in the world and the premiere academic conference for law school faculty.

Rebecca Zietlow, the Charles W. Fornoff Professor of Law and Values and an expert in the area of constitutional history and politics, presented at a panel on constitutional law during the three-day event. The other panelists teach at Georgetown University, Princeton University, and Yale University.

Nicole Porter, professor of law and a disability law scholar, presented during a section titled “The Persistent Societal Habits of Bullying, Harassing and Excluding: Exploring the Current Legal and Public Policy Issues at the Forefront of Efforts Combating Such Discrimination.”

“Professors Porter and Zietlow represented us well,” said Daniel J. Steinbock, dean of the College of Law. “Toledo Law faculty members present regularly at the AALS Annual Meeting – yet another indication of the high quality of our faculty’s scholarship and scholarly reputations.”

This year’s meeting was titled “Looking Forward: Legal Education in the 21st Century” and sought to address the challenges and criticisms facing law schools and legal education. Over 3,500 law teachers, librarians, and law school administrators from AALS-member schools, non-member schools, and law schools of other nations were expected to attend.
