Managing Difficult Conversations in the Classroom

As legal research instructors, we encounter difficult conversations both inside and outside the classroom. These include conversations about grades, how to handle diversity issues in case opinions, within the classroom, and in our own hypotheticals, and accommodations. In this session, we will not only talk about how to handle these difficult conversations, but we will also role-play different ways to approach hard scenarios. You will leave the session more prepared to talk with students during difficult conversations
