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 breaking down the results of the latest Law School Survey of Student Engagement, which this year zeros in on the effectiveness of schools’ diversity and inclusion efforts. I chat with survey Director Meera Deo on what the findings tell us about how well—or not—schools are doing in teaching diversity skills and ensuring all students feel welcome and valued on campus. Next up, innocence clinics at Boston College Law School and Western Michigan University Cooley Law School secured exonerations and vacated convictions for two clients who had both spent years in prison on murder charges, on the very same day last week. Well done!
