Tracey George, who directs the Cecil D. Branstetter Litigation and Dispute Resolution Program at Vanderbilt Law School, has been appointed to the editorial board of the Journal of Legal Education. Her appointment was announced by Leo Martinez, president of the Association of American Law Schools (AALS).
The peer-reviewed journal, which is now in its sixth decade of publication, is published quarterly by the AALS, the primary professional association of law professors and administrators. The publication addresses numerous issues confronting legal educators, including curriculum development and legal scholarship. It also serves as an outlet for emerging areas of scholarship and teaching.
George is the co-author, with Suzanna Sherry, of What Every Law Student Really Needs to Know: An Introduction to the Study of Law (Aspen, 2010) and worked with Sherry to develop a course, The Life of the Law, taken by all first-year law students at Vanderbilt during orientation week. She also has published empirical studies of legal education and legal scholarship and serves on the LSAC Grants Subcommittee, which supports work on legal education and the legal profession. She was named director of Vanderbilt’s Cecil D. Branstetter Litigation and Dispute Resolution Program in 2011.
George is one of 12 members of the board. “The board is made up of leading scholars of legal education, and I’m honored to join them,” George said.
