Our Faculty
The LawPartneringSM Institute
is currently accepting applications from attorneys in corporate and private practice,
consultants, vendors, educators and others with partnering knowledge and experience
willing to lend their expertise in moderating our online Discussion Forums.
To provide different perspectives on discussion topics, eventually, each discussion
forum will have three faculty-moderators. Ideally, we would like to have moderator
panels composed of one in-house counsel, an attorney in private practice and someone
employed as an educator, consultant or legal vendor.
Faculty-moderators are responsible simply for monitoring the member discussion,
keeping the dialogue focused on the dedicated subject, asking occasional thought-provoking
questions and responding in substance whenever they like. We do not ask our faculty
to "carry the ball" in every conversation, to teach a course on the forum topic
or to provide unlimited free advice to other Institute members.

How To Apply
Contributing
Is Valuable, Rewarding, Easy And Convenient
By joining our faculty and
promoting the dynamics of partnering, you'll be helping to create positive change
in the legal profession. As a faculty member, you'll have the opportunity to develop
and refine your own approach to partnering, demonstrate your expertise and build
your reputation and credentials as a thought leader in partnering relationships.
You'll be in a strong position to influence the thinking and actions of prospective
customers, clients and colleagues interested in the benefits of partnering arrangements.
Also, as a faculty member, you'll have access to our exclusive Faculty Lounge.
Here, you'll meet and have the opportunity to network and exchange ideas with
other faculty members who, as experienced attorneys and business leaders, similarly
believe in what partnering has to offer. In addition, you'll be invited to participate
in future special public, in-house and online training programs and seminars that
the Institute intends to produce as part of our expanding lawpartnering educational
services.
To encourage participation
in our discussion forums and make the experience easy and convenient, we've chosen
unique software (by Web Crossing) that offers the option of receiving email notice
whenever a message is posted in a forum of interest. Accordingly, as a faculty
member, it's easy to follow discussion threads. You do not need to visit the Institute
to determine if a discussion is developing in the forum you are moderating. You
can set your preferences to receive notice of any activity, and you can even respond
to posts by email without coming the site, if you like.
We know, too, that you are busy and that your time is limited. By sharing
responsibilities with other faculty members, we anticipate that moderating a discussion
forum will require only a few moments of your time each week. Remember, we're
not asking you to teach a course on the discussion topic, to be the ultimate authority
or to carry the sole burden of moving every conversation along. Collaborating
with other faculty members, you should easily be able to moderate a forum by posting
or responding to messages a few times a week.
