Penn State Dickinson Law Dean and Donald J. Farage Professor of Law Danielle M. Conway has been voted 2025 president-elect of the Association of American Law Schools (AALS), the nonprofit whose member schools enroll most of the country’s law students and produce the majority of the country’s attorneys and judges. Her election follows time spent on the AALS Executive Committee and AALS Steering Committee.
“I have aspired to serve as AALS president for 10 years, beginning years ago when I was selected to serve on the Steering Committee,” Conway said. “My ongoing support of and strong relationship with AALS has helped provide me with a platform for much of the work we are doing now at Penn State Dickinson Law.”
AALS presidents serve for one year. Each leader develops a theme for their term, and Conway will introduce hers later this year. As president-elect, Conway will support the incoming president and the greater association, as well as serve once again on the Executive and Steering committees.
“I applaud Dean Conway for achieving the high honor of being voted president-elect of AALS,” said Penn State Interim Executive Vice President and Provost Tracy Langkilde. “Through her contributions to the field of legal education, she has demonstrated to the community of legal educators and law-affiliated organizations that she is a trusted resource. We appreciate her leadership and dedication to the faculty, staff, alumni, and students at Penn State Dickinson Law.”
