Getting New Prawfs Off the Ground

ADVERTISEMENTS

Earlier I received an email from someone about to start teaching. He asked:

This fall, I will begin teaching at ___. As of writing, I anticipate that my classes will consist of torts, criminal procedure, and American legal history. As I prepare for the academic year, I wonder whether you know of any source(s) for course outlines, syllabi, casebook recommendations, and other materials relating to these classes, as may have been provided and collected by other professors. I intend on hitting up my future colleagues for these items, but I'd like to cast a broader net and thereby (hopefully) become aware of as many alternative course strategies as possible. I would genuinely appreciate any guidance you might provide on this score.

Let's make this an open thread for prawf-folks to post links or citations to sources that will help the newbies hit the road running. Any thoughts? I know there's a AALS Criminal Justice bank of sources that Susan Rozelle has put together and I saw something recently that Joseph Tsai and some others are putting together for multimedia sources in criminal law. I'm also quite certain that I've read a few things from J.Legal Educ on this topic (ie, with respect to helpful hints for the new prawf) that are somewhat useful, but I don't remember the titles or authors. Throw a life preserver out in the comments.
