Overview

Build a legal career in one of the hottest 21st century employment arenas! In his 21st Century Legal Career Series, Richard L. Hermann researches, evaluates, and predicts where the employment opportunities are and will be for law graduates. Volume 10, Law Teaching and Training: Law School and Way Beyond, debunks the conventional wisdom that there are no jobs for law teachers. To be sure U.S. law schools are a mature industry and not a great place these days to be looking for teaching positions. But that does not mean law teaching jobs are static or disappearing. Quite the contrary. Law schools may not be where the action is, but that does not mean there isn't a lot of action elsewhere. There are far more law teaching positions available outside of law schools than within. Attorneys now teach law courses in undergraduate institutions, graduate departments, paralegal schools, foreign universities, government, corporations and even law firms. For example, more than 500 undergraduate institutions offer a Legal Studies or comparable major. The individuals who teach in these programs are attorneys. Discover the breadth and depth of opportunities for law graduates who want to teach. Highlights include: - Why Is Law Teaching and Training So Hot? - Who Hires? Law School: Traditional Teaching Positions - Who Hires? Law School: Alternative Teaching Options - Who Hires? College and University Undergraduate and Graduate Programs - Who Hires?
