amThe Consortium is hosting three Professional Development Panels, a CULJP Board meeting, and a coffee (half) hour. Board members who attend will also be happy to meet with individuals representing member programs, or those who want more information about what we are up to, and how you can be involved.
Thursday, June 2nd, 8:15 – 10:00 am “The Relationship Between Undergraduate Legal Studies and Law School Education, a Perspective from Undergrad Professors” -- NOLA Marriott Salon D (3rd floor)
Friday, June 3rd, 2:45 – 4:30pm “Landing a Law and Society Job at a Teaching Institution”
NOLA Marriott Salon D (3rd floor)
The academic job market is a difficult place to be - and candidates need to think through how to present themselves for a wide array of positions. Interdisciplinary legal studies education is a unique and vibrant field - and applying for jobs within it is different than applying for positions within more standard disciplinary homes at research-focused institutions. This roundtable includes faculty from several undergraduate teaching-centered institutions, who hire often in the fields related to law and society. It also includes faculty who mentor graduate students towards these positions. The roundtable will offer our collective reflections on, and advice for, the job market for these types of positions. We will discuss cover letters, teaching portfolios, the 'job talk' and teaching demonstration, and the intangible things we look for, when evaluating candidates to become our colleagues.

At this "cafe" style panel, you can move from table to table, talking about the different approaches to undergraduate teaching brought by each of the several participants. From lobbying state legislators, to ride alongs with city police, faculty in this cafe engage students in a wide range of experiential learning. They use moot courts, mock trials, and a research lab to immerse their students in undergraduate legal education.
