Seton Hall hosts the Third National People of Color Conference, Our Country, Our World in a “Post-Racial” Era, on September 9-12, 2010. The conference includes a Works-in-Progress Sessions, a Junior Faculty Writing Competition, and a Student Writing Competition, as well as a How to Enter the Legal Academy: Pipeline Program — “an opportunity to learn the inside information necessary to join the legal academic community”:
All interested parties are invited to attend a four-hour “boot camp” program featuring panel discussions about entering law school teaching as a person of color:
- How to Gain a Position: Self-marketing, CVs, Callbacks, Job Talks
- Placement: The “Meet Market,” FAR forms and Interviewing Advice
- Entrée Strategies: Fellowships, Clerkships, Visiting Assistant Professorships
- Writing for the Academy: Turning law school papers into articles, research agendas
- Advice for Late Bloomers: Entering the academic market later in your career
