If tomorrow’s law school will look different than today’s, the law professor of the future may look different as well. At many schools, the current model of a law teacher emphasizes scholarly training and ambition. The law professor of the future might be required to spend less time on scholarship and more on teaching. And if teaching is to be practice-oriented and skills-focused, the background required of an effective teacher may change as well. Further, if the characteristics required of a law professor continue to evolve, pressure to modify or eliminate the system of academic tenure may continue to grow. This session will examine whether and how the law professor of the future will differ from the current model of the legal educator.
