Teaching Franchise Law in Law Schools: a Role for Experienced Franchise Lawyers David C
Teaching Franchise Law in Law Schools: A Role for Experienced Franchise Lawyers David C. Gurnick and Alexander M. Meiklejohn The authors of this article write to encourage experienced franchise law- yers to propose franchise law courses to law schools and, if the proposals are successful, to teach the courses as adjunct professors. Both authors have taught franchise law, and both are happy to consult with any lawyer considering becoming an adjunct professor who has questions concern- Mr. Gurnick Mr. Meiklejohn ing the proposal process or the design or teaching of the course. Part I of this article describes the role that adjunct professors have per- formed in law schools for decades and reasons for a school administration to have an adjunct teach franchise law. Part II highlights reasons that a law- yer can cite to persuade a law school that does not offer a course on franchise law to do so. Part III describes recent developments in legal education that affect law schools’ interest in adding new courses and hiring new adjuncts— developments that may pose challenges but also offer opportunities for aspir- ing adjunct professors of franchise law. Part IV explains how the Forum’s casebook, published in 2013, can be used in proposing, designing, and teach- ing a franchise-law course. I. Adjunct Professors and Franchise Law For decades, law schools have employed adjunct professors to teach courses after the ﬁrst year. An adjunct may be well versed in a substantive legal area that is outside the areas of expertise of the school’s full-time faculty members.

Maahanmuuttotutkimus Meni Baariin. Yhteiskunnallinen Ja Osallistava
KATSAUKSET | Sanna Ryynänen, Sirkku Varjonen, Pinja Hahtola, • 57 Niina Hosiasluoma, Emma Nortio, Jenni Urpilainen ja Pertti Ylikojola Maahanmuuttotutkimus meni baariin. Yhteiskunnallinen ja osallistava teatteri maahanmuuttokysymysten jäsentäjänä Sanna Ryynänen, Sirkku Varjonen, Pinja Hahtola, Niina Hosiasluoma, Emma Nortio, Jenni Urpilainen ja Pertti Ylikojola TIIVISTELMÄ n Vuoden 2017 alussa joukko yhteiskuntatieteilijöitä ja tanssi- ja teatteriammatti- laisia järjesti kaksi maahanmuuttoaiheista Puhekupla-tilaisuutta helsinkiläisessä lä- hiöbaarissa. Tilaisuuksissa käsiteltiin maahanmuuttoa tutkimustietoon perustuen, esittävän taiteen keinoin, yhdessä baarin asiakkaiden kanssa. Taustamateriaalina käytettiin sosiaalipsykologian alan tutkimuksia, jotka tarkastelivat maahanmuutta- jien identiteettiä ja asemaa Suomessa sekä maahanmuuttajien ja suomalaisten ta- poja käsitellä monikulttuurisuutta ja jäsenyyttä suomalaisessa yhteiskunnassa. Ta- voitteena oli lähestyä tätä ajankohtaista ja kiistanalaistakin aihepiiriä draaman ja keskustelun kautta, tavalla, joka purkaa rajalinjoja ja vastakkainasettelun sijaan tuottaa epätodennäköisiä kohtaamisia, aidosti vastavuoroisia oppimiskokemuksia ja uudenlaisia näkökulmia kaikille osapuolille. Menetelmällisesti tilaisuuksien suun- nittelua inspiroivat yhteiskunnallisen ja osallistavan teatterin käytännöt, erityisesti brasilialaisen Augusto Boalin (1931–2009) kehittämät yleisön osallistumiseen perus- tuvat toimintamallit, kuten forumteatteri. Tässä katsaustekstissä esittelemme Puhe- kupla-tilaisuuksiin
