4.2.3.5) Should I try to become a Course Tutor or Teacher's Assistant (TA)? (King Hall Law School)
Yes. It has tremendous resume value, and if you intend to teach law,
the experience is invaluable.
4.2.3.5.1) What is the difference between a Course Tutor and a TA? (King Hall Law School)
Course Tutors are somewhat unique to King Hall. All first year
courses other than Legal Research and Legal Writing have Course
Tutors. There is also a Resource Tutor. Course Tutors are paid for
their time, and their job is to help students who ask for help in
their coursework. They tend to be very good students who did well in
whatever course they are tutoring.
In contrast to Course Tutors, TAs are unpaid positions for Legal
Research and Legal Writing. A law student who works as a TA receives
course credit. I had no desire to work as a Legal Research TA, but I
did work as a Legal Writing TA, and I found the experience very
rewarding, albeit extremely demanding on my patience and my time.
4.2.3.5.2) What are the qualifications necessary to become a Course Tutor or TA? (King Hall Law School)
Assistant Dean Toni Bernhard (<mailto:aebernhard@ucdavis.edu >) is
responsible for hiring Course Tutors and TAs. Contact her at
