2012/2013 - Faculty Colloquium

The Rutgers-Camden Faculty Workshop series offers a collegial atmosphere in which faculty from Rutgers and distinguished guests present scholarly work and discuss contemporary legal issues. It enhances the intellectual life of the law school community and Camden campus by providing a forum for critical exchange across the disciplinary and topical boundaries that often separate scholars of the law. Attendees can earn continuing legal education (CLE) credits in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York. For more information, please contact Greg Lastowka .  See Archive link for older presentations.  Faculty and staff will need to log in to see more information on the presentation.

Faculty colloquia are presented for the benefit of the Rutgers Law community and are not open to the public. If you would like to attend a particular event, please contact Greg Lastowka at (lastowka@camden.rutgers.edu).
