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 legal education’s transition online and assessing whether professors have been ambitious enough in their approach to teaching digitally, with insights from John Mayer, executive director of the Center for Computer-Assisted Legal Education. What can educators learn from this past semester to improve if distance legal education remains in place in the fall? Plus, the deal-making competition for law students, LawMeets, is moving online this summer to help fill the skills gap left by canceled summer associate programs and internships. Read on and stay safe!
