ALAA INTEREST GROUPS
Stay Connected
Interest Groups provide an opportunity for ALAA members to pursue common academic interests in related areas of law. Interest Group Conveners provide a link between the Association and its members and play an important role in encouraging the active participation of members in the Association’s activities and bringing to the attention of the members of the Interest Group other events of interest, and to foster a climate of communication and collaboration among like-minded members.
