Faculty Workshops
The UConn School of Law faculty workshop series provides a weekly forum for the presentation of legal scholarship and fosters academic discussion among colleagues and peers. UConn faculty and scholars from around the world present papers –typically works in progress– and the faculty attendees have an opportunity to ask questions and provide comments. The workshops are an important focal point for the intellectual life of the school, providing an opportunity for the UConn Law community to meet leading scholars from other institutions. A limited number of seats may be available for UConn Law students who register no later than the Monday before the workshop by emailing deborah.king@uconn.edu. Typically, faculty workshops are held on Wednesdays from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.
