SCOPO - Standing Committee on Publishing Oversight

About SCOPO

The Standing Committee on Publishing Oversight (SCOPO) is comprised of twelve members:

  • Eight representatives from among those recommended to the ABA President by the Section Officers Conference from the sections, divisions, and forums having book and/or periodical publishing programs, and
  • Four at-large members.

Members serve three-year staggered terms and may be reappointed for a second three-year term.

SCOPO was established by the House of Delegates at the 1996 Annual Meeting.  The objectives of SCOPO are to:

  • Study and recommend publishing policies and strategies to the Board of Governors and House of Delegates;
  • Provide policy oversight, supervision, and direction to publishing at the ABA (exclusive of the ABA Journal) to ensure a coordinated, businesslike approach to the creation and distribution of its intellectual property; and
  • Work closely with the Director of ABA Publishing, who is responsible for implementing the Association’s publication policies and for developing publishing initiatives designed to meet the changing needs of members, to produce revenues, or to support other Association goals.
