Bruce Winick (University of Miami) has announced that the Association of American Law Schools has approved the petition for permanent section status for the Section on Balance in Legal Education. As Bruce, the section's Chair, put it, the section has gone "from a dream to a permanent part of AALS." Congratulations to everyone who helped with this initiative — which includes two of this blog's editors, Nancy Soonpaa and Sue Liemer. (spl)
