Andrew Jennings, has created Practical Scholarship as a way to better connect academics with ideas to discuss and law firms, bar associations, and CLE program providers in need of speakers for events and CLEs.

I’ve sent over a recent paper with some practical relevance to make it available if there are groups that want to talk about reincorporations and their cost effects.

To be clear, Professor Jennings isn’t running a speaker’s bureau here or guaranteeing anyone lucrative bookings. It’s a clearing house to help academics with relevant work connect with potentially interested audiences. Once a month, a digest curated from the submissions and organized by area will go out to subscribers.

I tend to learn an enormous amount from building relationships with the practicing bar. This strikes me as a way both to share some ideas and also to learn what others are thinking. I’m delighted that this has been created as a way to foster more engagement between the academy and practicing lawyers.
