“To Teach is to Learn Twice: Fostering Excellence in Transactional Law and Skills
Education,” will be held at Emory Law, beginning at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, June 1, 2018, and
ending at 3:45 p.m. on Saturday, June 2, 2018.

Four New and Different Things about the Conference:

    Transactional Law and Skills. Note: For information about how to nominate yourself or

CALL FOR PROPOSALS

We are accepting proposals immediately, but in no event later than 5 p.m. on Friday, March
30, 2018.

We welcome you to present on any aspect of transactional law and skills education as long as
you view it through the lens of our theme. We expect to receive proposals about theories,
programs, curricula, courses, approaches, methods, and specific assignments or exercises that
foster excellence in transactional law and skills education. In other words, what works best
(excellence in teaching) to achieve particular student outcomes (excellence in learning)? If it’s
true that “to teach is to learn twice,” what wisdom can you impart to others who may want to
replicate or imitate what you are doing? How have you made yourself a better teacher? And
how have you assured that you are achieving the best student outcomes?
