Why Serve as NAGTRI Faculty?
Just a few of the many benefits to serving as NAGTRI faculty include:
Professional Development
Serving as NAGTRI faculty offers valuable professional development to attorney general staff because teaching the material reinforces knowledge and practices. Faculty also learn new techniques from their colleagues. And the same skills NAGTRI faculty use to teach (engaging an audience, presenting information succinctly and memorably) translate to the office and the courtroom.
Community
There is a strong sense of community amongst our NAGTRI faculty. When serving together at NAGTRI training programs, attorneys and judges from different jurisdictions across America not only network and learn from each other, but also forge lasting friendships. NAGTRI is proud of these connections and fosters a sense of community among its faculty.
Satisfaction
Becoming a member of the NAGTRI faculty helps bring out the best in government attorneys. NAGTRI faculty perform a service to the legal community and help to raise the bar of advocacy among attorney general offices across America. Participants at NAGTRI training programs consistently express their praise and gratitude for the insights they learn from our faculty.
About Serving as Faculty
- There is no minimum time commitment. You can teach at one training or 10.
- You can teach online or in-person. NAGTRI pays for faculty’s travel, accommodations, and meals for in-person programs.
- There is no obligation to serve. We send periodic emails inviting faculty to upcoming programs, and faculty respond with their interest and availability; we simply ask for their time, passion, and expertise.
- NAGTRI welcomes attorneys from all practice areas. NAGTRI training programs focus on legal skills, such as trial advocacy, legal writing, motion practice, and depositions. Our programs also address substantive topics such as consumer protection, ethics, and human trafficking.
