Samples: Scholarly Agenda & CVs
As you may know (and as you will know if you read everything on this site), one key to landing an entry-level legal academic position is your “scholarly agenda,” i.e., a methodology and set of linked problems that you plan to tackle as a scholar.
The scholarly agenda is both an actual program that you can describe and a short document. Although most schools will not ask to see a written scholarly agenda, writing it up is a good way to organize your own thoughts.
