The Clinical Law Review seeks applications for four vacancies on the Board of Editors. The Selection Committee and the Board of Editors urge you to think about whether you would be interested, and to think about others whom you would encourage to apply.
Members of the Board of Editors serve for a term of 6 years. Board meetings customarily have been held twice a year: once at the AALS annual meeting and once at the AALS Spring clinical workshop or conference. Board members are expected to attend meetings regularly. Policy matters for the Review and status of upcoming issues are discussed at these meetings. Between meetings Board members are asked to work with authors to edit articles. Board members may be asked to review manuscripts and to make a recommendation on whether to accept the submission for publication. Board members customarily serve as small group leaders in the bi-annual Clinical Law Review Workshop.
Applicants should explain their interest in the position and should highlight the aspects of their experience that they believe are most relevant. The Selection Committee seeks applications from people committed to the work of the Review and strives to select a Board with diverse backgrounds and varying experiences in and approaches to clinical education. Applications and supporting resumes must be received no later than April 1, 2009. Please email them to Binny Miller at [email protected].
The committee to select new Board members is always chaired by a current Board member whose term is expiring. I will be serving this year as the chair of the selection committee. The other members of the committee are designated by the three organizations that sponsor the Clinical Law Review -- AALS, CLEA, and NYU -- each of which designates two committee members. The representatives designated by these organizations for this round of Board selection are, respectively: Jeff Selbin, Gemma Solimene, Kate Kruse, Michael Pinard, Marty Guggenheim and Randy Hertz.
The selection committee will review the applications and meet at the May AALS conference in Cleveland. Selections will be made so that the new Board members will join the Board at the beginning of the 2009-10 academic year.
I encourage you to contact me or other current or former Board members with any questions or for information about service on the Board. My fellow Board members and I have found it a very rewarding and informative way to continue the advancement of clinical education.
The other members of the Board are: Margaret Martin Barry, Ben Barton, Juliet Brodie, Angela Burton, Marty Guggenheim, Peter Joy, Bridget McCormack, Kim O’Leary, and Ascanio Piomelli) and the Editors-in-Chief are Randy Hertz, Kate Kruse, and Michael Pinard. Those who previously served on the Board are: Jane Aiken, Tony Alfieri, Bev Balos, Richard Boswell, Stacy Caplow, Bob Dinerstein, Jon Dubin, Steve Ellmann, Cecelia Espenoza, Gay Gellhorn, Isabelle Gunning, Peter Toll Hoffman, Jonathan Hyman, Minna Kotkin, Deborah Maranville, Paul Reingold, Jim Stark, Paul Tremblay, Nina Tarr, Rod Uphoff, and Leah Wortham.
I look forward to hearing from you. - Binny
