The Association of American Law Schools Externship Scholarship Sub-Committee is supporting a “Virtual Writers Workshop” which I will be leading, as a committee co-chair, over the next academic year. Externship professionals are invited to sign up for the 2024-2025 Virtual Writers Workshop, with the aim of supporting new or veteran authors through the law review writing process.
One of the goals of the AALS Externship Committee, and particularly of the Scholarship Sub Committee, is to raise the academic profiles of externship professionals and to support the community in its professional growth. This workshop aims to support those goals by providing a structure for new writers to engage with and participate in academic scholarship in a friendly and field specific environment, and by increasing the number of new publications by externship professionals.
I have developed my career, my expertise, and my confidence through my research and publications. I feel strongly about tearing down academic gates and sharing new and different voices and experiences in legal scholarship. Externship professionals are often in non-tenure roles and while they may be interested in sharing their expertise through writing, they often don’t have the systematic support to do that. It’s my goal to be that, with the support of many other amazing writers, for the externship community – a community that has so welcomed me in as a new teacher!
Let’s get writing.
