Welcome back to Ahead of the Curve. 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.
This week, I’m taking another look at the pilot Federal Clerk Hiring Plan and noting that support for the effort—now in its second year—isn’t universal. Or at least, some legal educators see room for improvement. Next up, I’m checking on the student reaction to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’ recent teaching visit to the University of Florida Levin College of Law. Spoiler alert: Not everyone was happy to see him on campus.
