The AALS was founded in 1900-120 years ago-and serves as both the membership associ- ation and the learned society for legal education. This dual responsibility of serving law schools and their deans as the insti- tutional membership organization and serving individual faculty members and administrators as their learned society is unique among higher educa- tion organizations.

She has recruited and cultivated a talented, ded- icated team that works tirelessly to serve law schools and law professors so that the AALS is a strong and effective voice for legal education; a forum for knowledge sharing and professional development; and more recently, a center for important research about legal education and law school leader- ship. Judy, under your leadership, the AALS has matured in so many ways. Continued on page 3 2 O2020 Conference on Clinical Legal Education in Orlando, Florida
