THE FACULTY SPEAKER SERIES is designed to stimulate ideas for new faculty scholarship, promote collaboration with other faculty members internally and externally regarding scholarship and teaching issues, and to enhance the intellectual life and development of the law school's faculty. The Series invites outstanding scholars from around the country to present works-in-progress and features many of Texas Wesleyan's own faculty members presenting works-in-progress. For non-tenured faculty members, a Junior Faculty Workshop is coordinated separately and it allows non-tenured faculty members to collaborate and discuss their works-in-progress amongst themselves. All presentations are held at noon.
