Many clinicians share teaching responsibilities with colleagues in both classroom and supervision settings. Team-teaching can be an effective way of exposing law students to differing methodologies, lawyering skills, and supervision styles. It also presents an opportunity for faculty to learn from one another and for institutions to expand clinic capacity. The goal of this session is to help participants maximize the benefits of their team-teaching for students and provide strategies for overcoming common challenges of team-teaching. The panelists will discuss their experiences with team-teaching in both transactional and litigation clinics and discuss how these collaborations differ between and within institutions. The interactive format will invite participation from attendees in sharing experiences and ideas related to current collaborations and look toward new collaborations. This presentation focuses on a teaching strategy that is replicable in many different settings, and participants will leave the session empowered with ideas to implement in their clinic collaborations.
