Schedule for Faculty Colloquium, 2007-2008

The Rutgers-Camden Faculty Workshop series offers a collegial atmosphere in which local faculty and distinguished guests, many drawn from neighboring educational institutions in the Delaware Valley region, present works-in-progress 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 also earn continuing legal education (CLE) credits in Pennsylvania. Please contact Rand Rosenblatt, Professor and Director of Faculty Development (rrosenbl@camden.rutgers.edu), for more information.
