Join CUNY School of Law's On-Line Conversation Community

What are these Groups?

These on-line conversation forums/groups are hosted by the Law School as GoogleGroups. They are very simple to use, and there are easy settings to adjust your preferences. For example you can have email messages come as they are posted, or on a daily basis as a "digest". You can search past postings. We are happy to assist you with getting set-up.

For more information on GoogleGroups, see: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!overview .

Membership

Come join one or as many groups as catch your interest. Ask questions (after doing your own research first, of course), answer questions and share your expertise, give and take referrals, get opinions, re-connect, and more.

Facilitator/Co-Facilitator Role

We see the facilitator role as including:

• promoting membership among your alumni colleagues in the field
• basic administration of the GoogleGroup (inviting, adding members, etc)
• generating conversations to get the group engaged moderating the group where necessary
• responding to member inquiries
• maintaining listserv/forum protocols to support professionalism and accuracy

It can work well to have co-facilitators, so long as everyone knows their role, and things don’t get lost in the middle. If you might want to take on the role, with a co-facilitator, let us know (including if you have someone in mind).

Lisa Reiner and Alizabeth Newman are always here to support you as facilitators.
