The J.D. Academic Services Office sponsors seminars each academic year on various aspects of legal pedagogy that are aimed at helping new faculty prepare to teach and at helping established faculty fine-tune their teaching goals and strategies. These seminars, which bring together small groups of full-time, visiting, and adjunct faculty members are taught by presenters who lead discussions or give demonstrations of classroom teaching techniques. Recent seminars have focused on such topics as:

• stimulating classroom participation;
• supervising and evaluating seminar papers;
• effective seminar teaching: who does it and how?

You will receive invitations to these teaching seminars several weeks in advance, but last minute registrants are welcome as well. Watch for announcements by email. Adjuncts who would like individual teaching consultations are welcome to contact Sarah Hulsey  (J.D. adjuncts) at (202) 662-9041 or Tina Drake Zimmerman (LL.M. adjuncts) at (202) 662-9660.
