SAVE THE DATE: GEORGETOWN SUMMER INSTITUTE ON CLINICAL TEACHING

Georgetown Professor Deborah Epstein has announced that the law school will again host a summer clinical teaching conference. A popular offering last summer, we are glad to hear it's being offered again.  Prof. Epstein provides the following details:

Georgetown University Law Center is pleased to announce that we will hold the second Summer Institute on Clinical Teaching from June 1-4, 2009.  During this four-day, intensive workshop on our campus, we will help a small number of experienced clinicians improve their teaching and supervision through plenary sessions, hands-on work, and numerous opportunities for individualized feedback.  All participants will be asked to submit a tape or a written description of a clinical challenge they have encountered; small group sessions will be devoted to thinking through strategies for resolving them.  Our hope is that clinicians will leave the Institute with a renewed sense of energy, a broader range of strategic ideas, and a connected community of peers from whom to continue to learn.

There will be no registration fee.  Georgetown will provide some meals during the workshop period, and those who wish to stay in the Law Center’s dormitory apartments may do so at low cost. We will circulate details about the Institute, including the faculty, the agenda, and how to apply, later in the fall. -jl
