The Student Leadership Development Committee hosted its second luncheon of the semester on March 21 with Professor of Law Kristen Adams.<\/p>\n

During the luncheon, Professor Adams discussed the importance of teamwork with a presentation entitled: \u201cThe What\/Why\/When\/Hows, and a Few Secrets of Great Teams.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe law, as practiced, is very much a team sport,\u201d Professor Adams said. \u201cThe more different skills that you are able to bring into a team, the more you can do as a group.\u201d<\/p>\n

She explained that it is never too early nor too late to start teambuilding with others. \u201cIt starts with something as simple as making sure you know each other by name,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

As an advisor to the Stetson Dispute Resolution Board, she often uses teambuilding to help the competitors come together as a unit and thrive outside of their comfort zones, such as improv exercises, varying practice locations, and even telling the team to \u2018go have fun together\u2019 outside of classes.<\/p>\n

Professor Adams received her B.A. from Rice University, a J.D. from Emory Law School, and a LL.M. from Yale Law.<\/p>\n

At Stetson, she teaches Commercial Transactions, International Sales Law & Arbitration, Property, and various other topics. In 2016, she published her fifth book: CISG Basics: A Guide to International Sales Law, <\/em>a collaborative project with Professor Candace Zierdt. <\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cGreat teams do not develop by accident. When you put amazing individuals in a room together, they are not automatically a great team,\u201d Professor Adams concluded. \u201cThey happen because someone puts effort into team-building.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
