11th
Conference of the
Asian
Pacific American Law Faculty (CAPALF)
APA
EDUCATION IN THE
TWENTY-FIRST
CENTURY
Michigan State University College of Law
September 24-25, 2004
DESCRIPTION
CAPALF
was formed in 1994 when Boston College Law School hosted the first
national gathering of Asian Pacific American law teachers. With the
growth of the number of APA law faculty, the organization has become a
nonprofit corporation with a mission to contribute to the well-being of
Asian Pacific American communities, to create a professional network,
and to host conferences for faculty and graduate students in law and
related disciplines. CAPALF encourages the participation not only of
Asian Pacific Americans, but all those whose work relates to issues
significant to APA communities.
