Floor: Second Floor, Conference Plaza

This session will discuss some of the “how to” issues confronting new clinicians who engage in scholarship, such as getting something written, securing publication, writing connected to your lawyering and teaching, and balancing writing with clinic work. We will also consider how diverse forms of writing that clinicians engage in, beyond traditional scholarship, can “count” for scholarship purposes. Finally, we will explore the question of why clinicians should write, by examining the unique and important voice of clinicians and how scholarship can align with our goals of making a meaningful difference.
