Kellye Y.

She also discusses the broader pressures facing higher education, the role of AALS in legal education, its National Task Force on the Regulation of American Legal Education, and efforts to expand access to justice, including 2026 National Rural Access to Justice Convening hosted by the University of Nebraska College of Law and AALS.
