Bootcamp Registration

The Legal Writing Institute is pleased to invite all new teachers of legal writing to participate in our annual New Teacher Training Bootcamp! "New" doesn't just mean "brand new"–anyone in their first few years of teaching the first-year legal writing course can benefit from the Bootcamp! And "teachers" include all 1L legal writing instructors, including new full-time faculty, fellows, and adjunct faculty.

The Bootcamp will be hosted virtually by Stetson University College of Law. Bootcamp provides an introduction to teaching 1L legal writing from expert legal writing faculty. In addition, junior colleagues will give advice on getting started. Topics include managing the 1L legal writing classroom, problem design, activities and exercises, accessible learning, grading and providing feedback, and teaching with technology.

Bootcamp participants receive two days of interactive training and will leave the Bootcamp with teaching materials and resources to use in fall courses. There will also be opportunities to socialize and network with facilitators and other participants.

Live Bootcamp participants will also receive an email with links to the recorded content approximately two weeks after the live Bootcamp.
