The University of Denver Sturm College of Law’s Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, the Society of American Law Teachers (SALT), and LatCrit (Latina and Latino Critical Legal Theory Inc.) collaboratively present a workshop series, “Navigating the 2021-2022 Law Faculty Hiring Process” to be held virtually during summer and fall 2021. The series is designed to support candidates from historically underrepresented groups as they prepare for the 2021-2022 law school faculty hiring cycle for textbook (“doctrinal”) positions and/or clinical faculty positions. Faculty and deans from law schools across the country will provide specific tips, insights, and strategies on the faculty hiring process. Depending on the number of attendees, participants may engage in one-on-one/small group conversations.
Free registration is required for each session. All sessions will be held 9am PST/10am MST/11am Central/12pm EST.
