The Conference takes place largely over two days and allows for interviews with a number of law schools at a fraction of the cost of visiting those schools individually. We expect as many law schools to participate in the 1999 Conference. The FAR is the key to participating in the Faculty Recruitment Conference. The FAR is a collection of information about candidates interested in teaching at law schools. To participate in the FAR, candidates fill out an online questionnaire form, which asks for information on education, teaching and employment experience and bar passage.
All information is saved in an online database.
Register forms are also available from the Association's office at 1201 Connecticut Avenue, N.W., Suite 800, Washington, D.C. 20036. The Register will be distributed to law school deans in August, mid-September, late September, October, and February. Fee waivers are granted for candidates with financial hardship. The Placement Bulletin, distributed six times a year between September and April to AALS member schools, advertises law school teaching and administrative positions.
