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.
Each candidate will select a unique username and password, which can be used to access the online Placement Bulletin and to register for the Faculty Recruitment Conference. Deans and recruiters of AALS member, fee-paid and other participating schools have access to the FAR database. Hard copies of all FAR forms are also sent to recruiters. Recruiters review this information in preparation for the Faculty Recruitment Conference, which will be held Thursday, November 2, through Saturday, November 4, 2000. There is a fifth release of the FAR in February.
