Program
Thursday, April 12, 2012
Classes are cancelled to enable everyone to take part in these events.
Fifteen panels will meet during Faculty/Student Presentation Day – five at a time in each of three program slots. The panel times will be 9 A.M. – 10:30 A.M.; 10:45 A.M. – 12:00 P.M.; and 12:15 P.M. – 1:45 P.M. The panel rooms will be W120, W220, W320, W420 and W520 (all subject to change if necessary; any changes will be announced on the day of the event).
All panel rooms and times are shown below. As you’ll see, we’ve organized the panels under five broad themes, and the panels that are part of each theme group will all meet in the same room. Here’s the broad outline:
Room W120: TechLaw Lab
Room W220: Project-Based Learning
Group Presentations
Room W320: Student Work, Individual and
Project-Based
Room W420: Pedagogy
Room W520: Scholarship and
Current Issues
Box lunches will be available in the workshop rooms for the lunch session. But you need to register to be sure of getting a lunch – and to help us make sure that there are seats for everyone at each session. We look forward to seeing you!
One final note:
Faculty/Student Presentation Day runs till 1:45 P.M., but the day doesn't
end then. At 2:00, a symposium on "Supreme Court Narratives: Law,
History, and Journalism," honoring Dean Emeritus James F. Simon,
