This hands-on session provides an inside view of how integrated sets are conceived, constructed, and validated to measure doctrine and lawyering skills within a single, cohesive assessment experience. Participants will work through a sample set, examine the alignment of competencies and scoring architecture, and see how integrated design strengthens rigor, coherence, and defensibility. The session translates exam-level methodology into actionable models for doctrinal skills and bar preparation curricula, offering a clear blueprint for modern, integrated assessment design.
This group of experienced scholars considers what is a "scholarly agenda," and then explores how to develop one. The panelists also examine: alternative routes to tenure and self-fulfillment; using colleagues and research assistants to help in the scholarly enterprise; the art or luck of publishing "well;" the importance of presenting at conferences; and how to enjoy, and not dread, the scholarly process. The discussion includes the "nuts and bolts" of writing - where, when, what, how, and more. The group may break into smaller groups to discuss these issues with participants in depth in a more directed dialogue._x000D_ _x000D_
Technology has become a fixture of the modern law school classroom, yet fundamental questions about its effects on learning remain open. This panel brings together faculty and administrators to examine how in-class technology use intersects with teaching, student development, and law school governance. How does technology use affect student engagement and skill development in the classroom? How do faculty make and communicate technology policy choices, and on what basis? What role, if any, should institutions play in setting technology norms? And how do the answers look different depending on the subject matter? The panel aims to surface the range of views and tradeoffs that law schools are currently navigating.
