The rest of the programs are organized by individual faculty members whose proposals are selected by AALS program committees for one of the five types of AALS programs. Each type is detailed below. 

The 2025 theme is Courage in Action. We encourage program organizers to consider the theme in framing their proposals, but it is not a requirement for submission or selection.
