The Society of American Law Teachers (SALT) invites law faculty--professors, clinicians, legal writing, adjunct--, law school administrators, and legal education professionals to join.

For almost 35 years, SALT has worked:

  • to make the legal profession more inclusive,
  • to enhance the quality of legal education, and
  • to extend the power of legal representation to under-served individuals and communities.

SALT’s programs, projects, and activities are infused with the values of diversity, equality, justice, and academic excellence.

SALT is committed to;

  • creating and maintaining a community of progressive and caring educators dedicated to making a difference through the power of law;
  • using innovative styles of teaching to make our classrooms more inclusive; challenging faculty, staff, and students to develop legal institutions with greater equality, justice, and excellence; and
  • organizing a community of progressive academics to promote core values of equality and justice and resist inequitable social policies.
