Description of Event
The path to becoming a law professor is strewn with unspoken norms and expectations. This presentation by Professor Samuel Beswick says the quiet bits out loud by outlining what it is law professors do, and what law students might like to think about now if they’re curious about a future career in legal academia.
The advice is primarily directed at J.D. and LL.M. students, but anyone is welcome to attend. 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 November 3 (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.
