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 Georgetown Law Dean William Treanor and professor Hillary Sale about their new seminar course Lawyers as Leaders, which this fall broke the school’s record for student enrollment. They share their thoughts on why leadership hasn’t traditionally been a focus of the law school curriculum and why that’s poised to change. Next, I chat with University of Iowa law professor Todd Pettys, who wrapped up his Supreme Court seminar in a pretty cool way: with a personalized video message from Tiger King star and pop culture phenomenon Carole Baskin. Top that!
