Why Serve as NAAG Faculty?
Just a few of the many benefits to serving as faculty include:
Professional Development
Serving as 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 that faculty use to teach (engaging an audience, presenting information succinctly and memorably) translates to the office and the courtroom.
Community
There is a strong sense of community amongst our faculty. When serving together at NAAG training programs, attorneys and judges from different jurisdictions across America not only network and learn from each other, but also forge lasting friendships. We are proud of these connections, and it fosters a sense of community among faculty.
Satisfaction
Becoming a member of the NAAG faculty helps bring out the best in government attorneys. Faculty perform a service to the legal community and help to raise the bar of advocacy among attorney general offices across America. Participants at NAAG 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. NAAG 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.
- We welcome attorneys from all practice areas. NAAG training programs focus on legal skills, such as trial advocacy, legal writing, motion practice, and depositions. Programs also address substantive topics such as consumer protection, ethics, and human trafficking.
