Professor Emeritus Antony Duff Receives AALS Section on Jurisprudence Hart-Dworkin Award
“AALS sections are vital communities within our association, fostering collaboration, innovation, and excellence in legal education,” said Melanie D. Wilson, AALS president and the dean and Roy L. Steinheimer, Jr., Professor of Law of Washington and Lee University School of Law. “It is with great pride that we recognize these distinguished individuals and institutions that have been honored by their sections for outstanding contributions to scholarship, teaching, mentorship, and service. The theme for the AALS this year and the upcoming Annual Meeting is ‘Courage in Action.’ These honorees represent courage in our profession and inspire us all.”
The Association of American Law Schools (AALS) was founded in 1900. AALS is a nonprofit association of 175 member and 19 fee-paid law schools. Its members enroll most of the nation’s law students and produce the majority of the country’s lawyers and judges, as well as many of its lawmakers. The mission of AALS is to improve and advance legal education. AALS carries out its mission by promoting the core values of excellence in teaching and scholarship, academic freedom, and diversity, including diversity of backgrounds and viewpoints, while seeking to foster justice, and to serve our many communities–local, national, and international. In support of its mission, AALS serves as both the institutional membership organization for law schools, and as the learned society for law faculty.
