New Law Professors

Go Back

Mentorship can be a scary concept. Early stage law professors often ask how to develop a mentoring relationship and how to effectively use that relationship. But even a new law professor is in the position to mentor others earlier on the pathway, so very quickly new law professors are also asking themselves how to become an effective mentor and balance mentorship obligations with other service and scholarship and teaching obligations. This panel brings together a group of professors from different career stages to discuss mentoring opportunities with which they are involved. Teaching and scholarly mentorship panelists will be supplemented with discussions of other types of mentorship, such as peer mentoring and institutional mentoring. Bring your questions and your suggestions to this panel as we discuss mentorship in all its varied forms.
