The Southeastern Association of Law Schools (SEALS) 2018 Annual Conference was a prominent gathering of legal educators and professionals, held from August 5 to August 11, 2018, at the Marriott Harbor Beach Resort & Spa in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. SEALS is dedicated to fostering scholarly collaboration and enhancing the quality of legal education across the southeastern United States.

The conference featured a diverse array of sessions covering critical topics in legal education and practice. Key themes included open government and transparency in the digital era, as well as workshops on writing connections, such as "Connecting with Citations," which aimed to familiarize students and law professors with various legal citation approaches. Additionally, the Intellectual Property Workshop delved into emerging trends in patent law and policy, addressing issues like the economics of patent law and administrative adjudicatory proceedings.

Attendees had ample opportunities for networking and professional development. The event included receptions hosted by institutions like Nova Southeastern University's Shepard Broad Law Center and American University, honoring long-term contributors to SEALS. Breaks sponsored by organizations such as Carolina Academic Press provided informal settings for participants to connect and discuss collaborative opportunities.

The conference was particularly beneficial for legal educators, scholars, and practitioners seeking to stay abreast of developments in legal education and practice.
