The 26th annual Workshop for New Law School Teachers is designed to offer new law teachers ideas about teaching techniques and scholarly development and to enable them to share excitement, experiences and concerns about entering the academic world. The workshop provides an opportunity to discuss the expectations that students and colleagues may have about new teachers, and the most effective means for achieving professional success in their first few years of teaching. It will focus on issues of teaching, scholarship and service, as well as institutional and individual concerns of new law teachers.
The Workshop for New Law School Clinical Teachers is designed to offer new law faculty an introduction to clinical teaching, and to the challenges of practicing law in a clinical setting. The Workshop will address the basic tasks of the clinical teacher: setting goals for clinical courses, teaching professional skills and values, and supervising and evaluating students. The Workshop will also address the special challenges facing new clinical faculty in such areas as program design, scholarship and working in an academic setting.
