creating and maintaining a community of progressive and caring law professors dedicated to making a difference through the power of law,
promoting the use of many forms and innovative styles of teaching to make our classrooms more inclusive, and
challenging faculty and students to develop legal institutions with greater equality, justice and excellence.

SALT is defending affirmative action by urging members of Congress for oversight of the Department of Education, offering resources to advocates, and joining with others to assure that the next generation of lawyers reflects the rich diversity of this country.
Without a commitment to diversity, how will the next generation of lawyers be prepared to create a more just world?

SALT's Annual Dinner is on Friday, January 9, 2009, at the El Prado in Balboa Park, San Diego, CA, honoring Steve Wizner as "Great Teacher" and Rhonda Copelon for Gilbert Human Rights.

Join law teachers, librarians, clinicans, administrators, and legal education professionals make progressive ideas more accessible to policymakers, community advocates, and the media, become part of a community devoted to justice, diversity, and excellence.
