Event Details

Have you ever thought about becoming a law professor? How do you know if you're well suited for it? What kinds of professorships are available and how does one become a candidate for them? As law schools become more diverse environments, the need for more inclusive law faculties increases as well. Don't count yourself out before you learn more about it.

Join ACS National and the ACS Yale Law School Student Chapter for a conversation about the various paths to legal academia, the bumps along the way to look out for, and what you can do to prepare yourself.
