- Title
PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE OF LAW: LESSONS FROM A NEW ENGINEERING SCHOOL.
- Authors
CHACHRA, DEBBIE
- Abstract
Like a number of other professions, the field of law is undergoing a significant upheaval due to a confluence of social and technical factors; in particular there has been an imminent rise of technologies to supplant (or augment) many of the activities of practicing lawyers. In response to these changes, law schools have the opportunity to redesign their curricula and pedagogical approaches to be more responsive to the needs of their students, helping them to develop the skills and abilities that will serve them well in this new world. This article outlines some ways of thinking about and creating these new educational experiences, informed by the author's experiences as one of the early faculty at the Olin College of Engineering, an undergraduate institution that was created to address similar challenges in the profession of engineering.
