The Thomas L. Jones Reception Area of the Alabama Law Institute is nearing completion.
Alumni, friends and family donated nearly $165,000 to the project, and a portion of the funds was used to create the Thomas L. Jones Endowed Scholarship.
Professor Jones was appointed Assistant Professor at the University of Alabama School of Law in 1962. Since then, he has served in virtually every position available to a member of the UA Law faculty, including Dean and Vice Dean. He was an integral part of the Alabama Law Institute, serving as the Acting Director from 1972 to 1974. He was on numerous ALI committees, both as a reporter and a member, from 1980 to 2013.
The Thomas L. Jones Reception Area will be dedicated at 4:30 p.m., January 18, in Room 326 at the Law School.
