Call for Papers and Proposals Deadline: Teaching in a Transformative Era – Honolulu

January 15, 2010

The William S. Richardson School of Law (University of Hawai’i) will host the 2010 SALT Teaching Conference–Teaching in a Transformative Era: The Law School of the Future. It will take place Dec. 10-11, 2010. The call for papers and panels deadline is Jan. 15, 2010.

In the midst of the nation’s worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, law schools must stay relevant and incorporate a curriculum that keeps pace with recent macroeconomic and social changes. Law professors must address a new phase of corporate and collective responsibility as well as the increasing need for social and economic justice in struggling communities nationwide and across the globe.Law schools must improve the admission and graduation of lawyers from a broad range of racial and ethnic backgrounds who will be prepared to serve their communities in the wake of the current global economic crisis. They must also address rising student indebtedness without sacrificing quality.

Since the conference coincides with the American Bar Association’s review of law school accreditation standards, it provides an opportunity to examine structural issues such as erosion of tenure, evolution in status relationships among law faculty, and the broader tensions between accreditation standards and economic and social trends in America.
