Stanford, and Harvard Law Schools announce the 20th session of the Junior
Faculty Forum to be held at Yale Law School on June 5-6, 2019.
The
Forum’s objective is to encourage the work of scholars recently appointed to a
tenure-track position by providing experience in the pursuit of scholarship and
the nature of the scholarly exchange. Meetings are held each year, rotating
among Yale, Stanford, and Harvard. Twelve to twenty scholars (with one to seven
years in teaching) will be chosen on a blind basis to present their work at the
Forum. One or more senior scholars will comment on each paper. The audience
will include the participating junior faculty, faculty from the host
institutions, and invited guests. The goal is discourse both on the merits of
particular papers and on appropriate methodologies for doing work in that
genre. We hope that comment and discussion will communicate what counts as good
work among successful senior scholars and will also challenge and improve the
standards that now obtain. The Forum also hopes to increase the sense of
community among American legal scholars generally, particularly by
strengthening ties between new and veteran professors.
