Thurgood Marshall School of Law Journal on Gender, Race & Justice’s Post

In August, Prof. Jonathon Booth will join the Colorado Law faculty as Associate Professor! Booth is a historian of democracy, race, law, and policing in the United States. He teaches courses including Criminal Law, American Legal History, and Law and History of Policing. How has your PhD in history helped inform your work as a legal scholar and teacher? "I’ve found that there is a great deal of overlap between the skills that make a great historian and those that make a great lawyer – at least on the litigation side. In both cases, you have to locate relevant evidence, read sources closely, and use those sources to build convincing arguments. Vitally, you must also be aware of alternative ways that the facts and sources could be interpreted, and how someone else could use those same sources to reach a different conclusion. This is why, whenever I talk to undergraduates who are interested in applying to law school, I encourage them to major in History. " Read the full Q&A with Prof. Booth here: https://lnkd.in/esKg3tfi

Throwback to 2018, when I had the privilege of attending a week-long lecture series on Public Law by the renowned Prof. Mark Tushnet from Harvard University. This enriching experience, hosted during my tenure as an Assistant Professor at TNNLU, not only deepened my understanding of public law but also reinforced my passion for academic pursuits. Grateful for such opportunities to learn from and engage with global experts in the field of Law. #HarvardUniversity #MarkTushnet #LawAndJustice #TNNLU #LegalStudies #LawAcademia #GlobalExpertise #LawyersOfLinkedIn

Hi, If you missed our discussion on Critical Research Methods, you can watch on YouTube.

Yale Law School again locked up the No. 1 spot on University of St. Thomas law professor Gregory Sisk’s closely watched triennial ranking of law schools’ 'scholarly impact,' a position the school has held for more than a decade.   The ranking is based on the number of times scholarship produced by each school's faculty was cited in other professors' law journal articles over the past five years. The ranking reflects how much each faculty's work is read and incorporated into legal scholarship and thinking.   Every three years, Sisk and his co-authors compile data on law journal citations from the previous five years and rank the top third of schools based on the mean and median number of citations of their tenured faculty. The Sisk ranking is widely considered by legal educators as the most credible measure of a faculty’s scholarly impact.   Read more in The Daily Docket: https://reut.rs/3WZ2Is2   #lawschools #legalindustry #legaleducation #legal
