Discussing Law School Change
September 10th, 2009 by Jim Cotterman
Paul Lippe, Founder of Legal OnRamp, wrote an interesting commentary, Welcome to the Future: Time for Law School 4.0. In it he advocated a change in direction for the nation’s law schools including an accelerated curriculum, more practice orientation in teaching, better use of technology, a more empirical approach to practice, a move back to mission-centered management and a long term commitment to skills development. Worth considering as law schools consider how best to respond to a changing legal and education marketplace.
