AALS thanks the Law School Admissions Council for generously supporting the Pretenured Law School Teacher of Color Workshop.
For sessions and speaker details, please see the complete listing under extended programs.
Many minority law professors embark upon a career as a law teacher to have a positive impact upon students, to pursue justice and to transform the legal system in order to improve lives and communities. They often discover that they face special challenges in the legal academy, starting from their first day of teaching. At this workshop, diverse panels of experienced and successful law professors will talk about their goals and achievements as law teachers and legal scholars and offer ways to successfully meet these challenges as they arise in the context of scholarship, teaching, service, and the tenure process. By bringing together faculty who are navigating similar career paths, the workshop will facilitate relationships that can provide long-term sources of support.
