Law school professors across the country have expanded the scope of their institutional contributions by assuming a variety of complementary administrative or programmatic assignments. Many opportunities have introduced challenges that have facilitated professional growth and have re-energized professors while allowing them also to enhance students’ educational experiences and career prospects. The opportunities often have included fruitful collaborations with partners in the legal academy and beyond. This panel will highlight opportunities for mid-career law school professors to supplement their teaching with other duties that draw on their expertise, improve their institutions, and introduce welcomed variety into their work portfolios. It will also explore the considerations that university and law school leaders focus on when choosing faculty members for administrative positions and projects. The career paths and projects of several panelists will demonstrate the benefits of lateral moves from faculty to administration and the advantages of an alternative: supplementing academic work with other kinds of responsibilities. Panelists include individuals on well-established paths as well as paths less frequently followed. They will not only discuss their own experiences but will also draw on the inspiring stories of others to emphasize the range of leadership opportunities available to law school professors within the academy.
