August 6, 2018

Billie Jo Kaufman, American University Washington College of Law’s associate dean for library and information resources and former president of the Southeastern Association of Law Schools (SEALS), was honored at the annual SEALS conference.

Kaufman was acknowledged for her continued service to SEALS during a reception sponsored by AUWCL and Nova Southeastern University. Kaufman had previously worked at Nova for 17 years before coming to AUWCL 15 years ago. Gail Richmond, retiring SEALS secretary and corporate compliance officer, was also honored.

SEALS offers legal educators the chance to present works in progress and receive feedback from peer educators, while offering panels and discussion groups that focus on pedogogy and allow law professors the ability to enhance their classroom teaching.

A number of AUWCL faculty members presented or moderated various workshops and discussion groups throughout the conference, including Dean Camille Nelson, Vice Dean Anthony Varona, Associate Dean of Student Affairs David Jaffe, along with Professors Jennifer Daskal, Fernando Laguarda, Rebecca Hamilton, and Llezlie Green Coleman.
