  • Robert M. Lawless, University of Nevada, Las Vegas
  • Jeremy R. Paul, University of Connecticut
  • Nancy B. Rapoport, University of Houston

The panel will discuss the process of developing and implementing a scholarly agenda. Panelists will discuss both the practical and logistical limitations to doing scholarship, as well as how to choose an area of research and implement a scholarly project. Topics that will be considered include: doing interdisciplinary scholarship, writing in one or more than one substantive area of law, managing time to accomplish scholarship in your first years, developing an understanding of your school's scholarship expectations, and considering what your dean can do to help you as a scholar. There will be substantial time at the end of the program for questions.
