Description of Event
The path to becoming a law professor is strewn with unspoken norms and expectations. This lunchtime seminar on The Law School Research-Track Job Markets will say the quiet bits out loud by exploring what practical early steps graduate students can take to position themselves for an academic job, and what a tenure-track professorship application package looks like. If you think you might want to be a law professor in the future, come along to hear, discuss, and ask questions.
Please RSVP no later than October 12 (and make us aware of any dietary restrictions) by emailing Lindsay Massara at LMassara@student.ubc.ca if you plan to attend in person as we are planning to provide lunch.
The Legal Scholar Colloquium Series is part of an on-going series of talks held throughout 2023-2024. During the 2023-2024 academic year, the Allard School of Law has relaunched a series of lunchtime talks for Allard Law students curious about legal academia. Sessions address different aspects of legal scholarship and the paths to becoming a law professor, with plenty of time for Q&A. A schedule of sessions is set out on our website here: https://blogs.ubc.ca/legalscholar/. Please come join us!
