[EL] AALS Section on Election Law--Success!

[Josh Douglas]

Dear Election Law Community,

I'm thrilled to announce that the AALS has granted our petition to create a
new Section on Election Law!  This is a significant accomplishment for our
field.  Thanks to all of you who helped with this effort.

We will have a program at the AALS Annual Meeting in January in Washington,
DC about the 50th anniversary of the passage of the Voting Rights Act.  The
session is scheduled for *Sunday, June 4, 2015, from 2:00-3:45*.  Please
mark your calendars.  Confirmed panelists include Pam Karlan, Chris
Elmendorf, and Kareem Crayton, and we will select two more panelists from a
Call for Papers.  More on that is forthcoming.

In addition, plans are underway for a "shadow" conference on Teaching
Election Law to be held at the GW Law School through the GW Political Law
Studies Initiative on the afternoon of *Friday, January 2*.  I hope those
of you who teach a course in election law will be able to make it, and will
stay for the AALS session on Sunday as well.

Please let me know if you have any questions.  Again, my thanks to all who
helped to reach this milestone.

Best,

Josh
