At the 2013 Association of American Law Schools Annual Meeting, Professor Eloisa C. Rodriguez-Dod was nominated chair-elect of the Executive Committee of the Section on Minority Groups – by a unanimous vote.
According to the AALS website, sections are established by action of the committee and appointed by the president. The 94 sections, composed of members of the faculty and administration of member schools, provide reports and policy advice to the Association.
FIU College of Law Professor Eloisa Rodriguez-Dod recently gave a presentation at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock Law Review Ben J. Altheimer Symposium, the school of law’s signature scholarly conference.
In 1972, the Uniform Law Commission adopted the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (URLTA). It was enacted in 20 states and provided an “impetus for the widespread adoption of the implied warranty of habitability and laws restricting retaliatory eviction.”
This year’s symposium, “A Question of Balance: 40 Years of the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act and Tenants’ Rights in Arkansas,” discussed the work of the commission, current topics in residential landlord-tenant law, and current Arkansas law and policy.
