You can do, in Lightroom an export to JPEG of a batch of RAW images. How many?

Just curious but do you only want to convert them? No retouching?

Yes - most programs that can read raw files will access the embedded jpeg and produce converted images quickly. Using a proper editor that actually can edit raw data and THEN convert to jpeg is the preferred method. Raw images generally need some editing, from light stuff like simple tonal balancing, sharpening, noise reduction, cropping, etc. to more involved editing. If you have a series of images that were taken in similar light, you can adjust the first image in the set, then highlight the other similar images, and copy all of the adjustments from the first one to the rest in the selection. To convert these images to jpeg, all you have to do is select all the images you want to convert, then export them to jpeg. Again, most good converter/editors will let you do this with an export formula, preset etc - it's called different things in different programs.
I use Lightroom, Capture One, DXO PhotoLab, Photoshop/Adobe Bridge and/or On1 PhotoRaw 2019.1
Here is a quick video that shows how it's done in On1, but the process is similar in the other programs.

Going forward, you might want to look at your camera settings and try capturing both RAW and "small" JPEG concurrently, possibly assigning the file types to separate cards if your camera has two slots (same card is just as easy). Those small JPEGs will be readily available for your quick presentation, with no conversion step / no conversion software.

The emphasis here is on "Quick", with some Adobe magic improvement in Lightroom Classic. A few updates ago, the Auto develop button got an update. It went from not very good to quite good.
1. Select the RAW photos.
2. While still in the Library module poke the "Auto" button under Tone Control in the Quick Develop module. All that are selected will get the benefit of the recent improvement. They will be treated individually. You can check a couple in the Develop module to see how the sliders have been moved.
3. While still selected, right click, pick export and fill out the choices.

I would have agreed with you until Adobe improved the capability of the Auto button. They incorporated "AI and Machine Learning" in the process. So now, rather than having the primary processing done in camera while shooting, it can be done in Lightroom.
Results are always in the eyes of the beholder, but my eyes are giving a slight edge to Auto processed over in camera JPEG processing.

Also, sometimes after I export a photo, LR shuts down and I have to restart it to do another photo. What causes that?

Some of this depends on the camera. Both Nikon and Canon embed full size JPEGs that can be easily extracted and saved. Some other camera's RAW files do not.

That is not normal Lightroom behaviour. You might look first at your computer configuration rather than Lightroom.
You might want to post that question here: https://forums.adobe.com/community/lightroom/lightroom-classic-cc
Be sure to include every detail you can think of about your computer and version of Lightroom.

Take Bill's advice. I export 1 to many thousand images with zero issues, 24x7x365. I was working with someone recenlty that had a problem in one of their export presets where they had no selection for the final step, the "post processing" step. That exposed a known bug in LR. You might look at that setting and see of one of the options is selected and the selection makes sense for your needs, like "Do nothing" or maybe "Show in Explorer".

So shoot JPEG. If you do a good job with GIRITC then the JPEGs will be fine for the presentation and that will save a boatload of time.
You can also shoot JPEG and raw if you want that will give you a little bit more latitude for F__ing up the exposure settings. That would be a good hedge if it's a paid shot.

Ad the bottom of the settings area for each export preset, there is a "Post-Processing" section with a selection for what to do After Export. It might be worth a look.

I use Irfanview (free) for doing lots of batch work. Fast and free.
