Plenary Session – Managing Institutional Relationships

Go Back

In addition to producing influential scholarship and facilitating effective student learning, law professors are also expected to build and manage multiple institutional relationships – both formal and informal – with students, staff, faculty, university officials, community members, alumni, and other practicing lawyers and judges.   New law teachers are increasingly called upon to interact with these groups very soon after joining a faculty.  Such interactions can present exciting opportunities, but balancing the competing demands on one’s time can be difficult.
