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 chatting with Drexel law professor and musical theater buff Lisa Tucker about the new book of Hamilton-themed essays penned by lawyers that she conceived of and edited. The volume uses the hit musical to delve into the myriad legal issues explored on stage in the mounting of the production. Next up, University of Houston Law Dean Leonard Baynes talk to me about his school’s upcoming virtual symposium—put on with SMU Law—called Black Lawyers Matter, and why now is the right time to focus on boosting the number of Black law students and attorneys. Read on and stay safe!
