Many enjoy the experience of teaching courses related to their scholarship. This synergy embodies great potential to advance one’s research agenda. On the other hand, law teachers must remain wary of unexpected pitfalls associated with overlaps between the classroom experience and their research. Panelists will discuss their successful pursuits to find productive crossovers between their program director responsibilities, teaching, clinical oversight, and research and writing. This invaluable discussion should prove beneficial for junior and senior legal scholars seeking to balance and make the most of their teaching and scholarship duties. Attendees will be encouraged to participate in the question and answer period following the panel presentation.
