Most of the questions we receive about the Clinical Conference are answered in these FAQs. If you read them carefully and still can’t find what you need, contact us.

Can I get continuing education credits for attending the clinical conference?

The Conference on Clinical Legal Education does not offer CLE credit.

Consent to Use of Photographic, Video, and Audio Materials

AALS will have a photographer and videographer at special events, sessions, exhibits, and throughout the hotel common areas used for the Annual Meeting. Photos and videos taken during the Annual Meeting will remain the property of AALS and may be distributed or used in future marketing materials. Your attendance at the Annual Meeting indicates your acceptance to be photographed, filmed, or recorded, and to AALS’s use of your image, without payment of any kind, in program(s) and for other purposes designated by AALS in the future.

Will there be a virtual option for this conference?

The 2025 Conference on Clinical Legal Education will take place in person. There is no option to attend virtually. We will accommodate virtual presentations for speakers who cannot attend in-person due to disability or medical requirement.

Registration

What is my AALS username and password?

To register for the Conference on Clinical Legal Education, you will need a username and password. Your username is typically your school-affiliated email address. If you have never used our online registration before, check to see if you are in the AALS database by entering your email address into the Forgot Password portal. If you are in the database, the portal will send you login instructions for creating or resetting a password. If you are not in the database, please contact AALS support.

What is Group Registration?

The “Register multiple people” button at the top of the page will bring you to Group Registration. In Group Registration, you can register:

  • A group of people from your law school, including yourself
  • A group of people from your law school, not including yourself
  • A single person from your law school, other than yourself
  • Yourself—but we’d recommend using Individual Registration instead.

Do you offer a one-day registration rate?

No, we do not offer a one-day registration or per-session fee. Registration is for the entire Conference on Clinical Legal Education.

How do I submit a registration transfer?

If you have registered for the conference but are unable to attend, you may transfer your registration to someone else. The person currently registered must send a written authorization asking to transfer their registration, and must include the name of the person receiving the registration in their place. Requests may be sent via email to [email protected], fax to (202) 872-1829, or mail to AALS, 1614 20th St. NW, Washington, DC 20009.

How do I register if I do not want to pay by credit card online?

We strongly encourage you to register online using our secure website. We also offer the option to submit a  paper form by fax to (202) 872-1829, or by regular mail (using check or credit card payment options) to:

AALS Registration
1614 20th St NW
Washington, DC 20009

Please note we no longer accept submission of registration forms by email.

For further questions about refunds, cancellations, or substitutions, contact AALS Registration.

Group Registration

How is Group Registration different than Individual Registration?

In Group Registration, you can register:

  • A group of people from your law school, including yourself
  • A group of people from your law school, not including yourself
  • A single person from your law school, other than yourself
  • Yourself—but we’d recommend using Individual Registration instead.

Group Registration requires your AALS username and password to access. Group Registration does not include a discounted registration fee.

How do I get an AALS username and password to register members of my law school?

If you are a professional staff member of an AALS member or fee-paid law school and do not have an AALS username, please contact the Registration team so that we may assist you.

Is there a limit on how many people I can register with Group Registration?

There is no limit, but we have found that more errors occur with larger groups. We recommend that you register large groups in batches of 5 people at a time. Register the first five, then log out with the Login/logout link in the bottom right corner (do not use the link in the top right corner) and log back in to register. This clears the system and reduces chances of errors. Please note it may take a couple of minutes to move from screen to screen.

How do I add someone to my school if their name does not appear in the Group Registration system?

First contact your Dean’s Office to ensure that the faculty/staff member is listed on your school’s AALS Roster. For further assistance with this process please email Support.

Do individual faculty/staff members receive notification that I have registered them?

Yes, they receive a copy of their personalized invoice and hotel instructional emails. This is sent automatically by the AALS registration system.

Can I have a copy of the registration invoice(s) sent to my email account?

Yes, there is a place to insert your email address to have a copy of both the itemized invoice and the hotel instructional emails sent to you.

Why is the credit card billing address already filled out?

Because it refers to your school’s billing address with AALS, which may not be tied to the credit card you are using for payment. Do not change this address. It will not cause your credit card to be declined.

Why do I receive the error “Item Not Found” when I press submit on the payment screen?

Because the credit card information is incorrect. It does not mean the card has been declined. It means it has not been found. Double check that the card information is entered correctly and submit again. If you continue to receive this error, please contact the Registration team.

Hotel

I lost/can’t find my hotel reservation email.

You should receive a confirmation email and a hotel email shortly after you complete your online registration. If the hotel reservation email does not appear in your Inbox, please check your spam and clutter folders. If you still can’t find it, log into the registration system to send yourself another copy, or contact [email protected] for more help.

I called the hotel to make a reservation and they told me to call you; what do I do now?

The AALS conference rate for rooms at the Marriott Baltimore Waterfront is only guaranteed for reservations made online through the AALS customer link, which you will receive via email shortly after you complete your conference registration. Please do not call the hotel directly to book a room in the AALS block. If you have already registered and cannot locate your confirmation email, you can log into the registration system and send yourself another copy or contact the Registration team.

If I am mailing in my registration payment, how can I make my hotel reservation online?

Your registration confirmation and hotel instructional emails will be sent after your registration has been fully processed. Please allow 2–3 weeks for processing.

How do I change or cancel my reservation?

Please refer to your hotel confirmation email for instructions on how to change or cancel your hotel reservation.
