Her talk, “What Law Professors Need to Know About Visual Arts,” was a part of the Craft of Law Teaching Pod at the 2014 Igniting Law Teaching conference. In her presentation, Professor Hawkins explains that those in the legal profession are increasingly asked to employ visual tools in their teaching. To be more effective as teachers, law professors essentially need to develop a designer’s eye. Too often, they create PowerPoint presentations that lack any real visual impact. Her talk focuses on how law professors can become more sophisticated consumers of visual presentation software to make effective presentations, focusing on color, font, symmetry, visual focus, and space proportion.
