Free professional development program at UC Law SF (formerly UC Hastings) on August 5:
If you are considering or would like to learn more about becoming a law professor, please join us for a pre-recruitment workshop at UC College of the Law, San Francisco (“UC Law SF,” formerly “UC Hastings”) on August 5. This half-day event is co-hosted by participating ABA-accredited law schools in Northern California in coordination with the American Association of Law Schools. It is one of several regional workshops taking place nationally.
The August 5 half-day workshop focuses on pathways to securing full-time law school faculty roles that involve a mix of teaching and research, commonly called “tenure-track roles.” The event is free to registered attendees. It includes two substantive panels. The first focuses on pre-market considerations, such as how to create a scholarly record and prepare a “job talk” article, pre-market teaching opportunities such as “VAPs” and fellowships, and information on how to apply for tenure-track positions. The second panel focuses on the interview process at law schools, including advice on how to give a successful job talk, how to interview well, and the hiring process, including timelines. To register, you must complete this registration survey. Be sure to select the San Francisco iteration of the pre-recruitment event.
