Navigating the lateral hiring process as a legal writing professor can be daunting, but the results can be tremendously rewarding. While information on lateraling as a doctrinal professor is abundant, little guidance exists for the legal writing lateral. To a certain extent, even in this constricted legal education jobs market, positions for accomplished legal writing teachers are more plentiful than those available for traditional law professors. Legal writing professors who have lateraled in the past five years share their thoughts on the process. This session should be of interest to other legal writing professors but also for clinical and other types of legal skills teachers.
