Getting our acts together, literally.
When you finish grading final papers, calculating course grades, and straightening up your office, one good way to reflect on the past teaching year would be to read Professor Melissa Marlow’s recently published article, Law Faculties: Moving beyond Operating as Independent Contractors to Form Communities of Teachers, 38 Ohio Northern U. L. Rev. 243-255 (2011). Professor Marlow challenges us, ever so gently, to think about how law professors could function more collaboratively as teachers, to the benefit of our students and the clients they will someday serve. Many of her suggestions are easy to implement and just require a few moments to consider and commit to as you think about how you might approach your courses differently next semester. Those of you who will be at the LWI conference in California can join Professor Marlow in a discussion of this topic, on Friday, June 1, at 9:00 a.m.
