American University was established in the District of Columbia by an Act of Congress approved on February 24, 1893, primarily as a result of the efforts of Methodist Bishop John Fletcher Hurst (1834-1903).
American University agrees to operate as an integral part of the University a law school to be known as the Washington College of Law of American University, which name shall be maintained for so long as the University continues to operate a school or college of law.
The law school shall be governed by a Board whose members are dedicated to the maintenance of a sound educational institution, possess the capability of participating in the formulation and development of such an institution, and have no financial interest in the operation of the law school.

The Association of American Law Schools (AALS) is a non-profit organization of 166 law schools in the United States.
Some schools with particularly strong religious objections to homosexuality choose not to become AALS members for this reason.
However, the AALS has excused its members from blocking access to the military since the passage of the Solomon Amendments, which denied federal funding to the parent university of a law school as well as the school itself if military recruiters are not given full campus access.

The new law forced schools to choose between protecting students who are on financial aid from economic and educational hardship and protecting students who are gay or lesbian from discrimination.
This excusal was contingent upon a law school's satisfactory completion, each year, of a "duty to ameliorate" the effects of the military discrimination they now unwillingly hosted.

The intent of law is to create rules of conduct that are widely understood and respected and to create normalized processes for adjudicating disputes.
The law is an integral part of nearly every area of our lives—from the environment, trade and commerce, and civil rights to national security, cyberspace, and entertainment and sports.
In broad terms, lawyers apply their interpretation of the law (the codified rules of their society) to advise their employer or client on completing transactions in compliance with the law or resolving disputes based on current understanding of the law.

 The Leiter Reports: Editorials, News, Updates: The hopeless Association of American Law Schools   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Complaints about the AALS are legion among law professors: the organization's relentless political correctness (without regard to the diversity of views among its members), its inability to stage real scholarly conferences, and its intrusive, and again largely politically motivated (when not cartel-motivated!), regulation of law schools.
On one important issue where the AALS might have made a difference--namely, the growing influence of the U.S. News law school rankings--the organization's response was to put its head in the sand and tell prospective students, incredibly, that they shouldn't look at law school rankings.
There are many law professors who are angry both about the exorbitant fees the AALS charges and who are also in my situation, i.e., only attending the conference because they were asked to speak.

Shortly stated, what the law schools seek in their entering students is not accomplishment in mere memorization, but accomplishment in understanding, with the capacity to think for themselves, and the ability to express their thoughts with clarity and force."
