What Platform does AALS Use for Sections?

Section webinars can be held on Microsoft Teams or Zoom, at this time it is up to the section as to what they prefer.

What is the Difference between a Webinar and Discussion?

A Section webinar is more formal and can handle more attendees. Attendees are not visible and only the speakers are. A discussion is a zoom meeting where the attendees are visible, and it is easier to collaborate.

Why should my Section host a webinar?

It is important to keep your Section members engaged throughout the year outside of Annual Meeting. Webinars serve as a gateway for the exchange of ideas and expertise across the legal education community. Hosting a webinar can demonstrate your leadership and expand your recognition and exposure within the legal education industry.
