Curricular Reform: Reimaging Law School Pedagogy and Programs

In the year since the publication of Educating Lawyers: Preparation for the Profession of Law (The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teachers, 2007) and Best Practices for Legal Education (Clinical Legal Education Association, 2007), several law schools have launched innovative experiential programs of study. Hear from a panel of law school deans, including Rodney Smolla from Washington and Lee University, Edward Rubin from Vanderbilt University, Lisa Kloppenberg, from the University of Dayton, and Raymond Pierce from North Carolina Central University, about how their schools are implementing some of the recommendations put forth in these two studies.
