Welcome back to Ahead of theCurve. I’m Karen Sloan, legal education editor at Law.com, and I’ll be your host for this weekly look at innovation and notable developments in legal education.

I’ve got an Ahead of the Curve Lightning Round this week, with quick looks at how law schools such as Chicago-Kent College of Law figure out how to teach legal tech when they offer specialized degrees. Also, Ted Cruz has his sights set on Yale Law School for allegedly discriminating against conservatives and Christians. And can a dating algorithm help law students find the perfect mentor match? BYU Law is trying to find out.
