Apps 4 Justice

Presenter(s): 
Ron Staudt, Chicago-Kent College of Law
John Mayer, CALI

The legal profession is endangered. Law schools are in trouble. New lawyers are unprepared for economic and technological reality. There’s vast unmet need for legal services.

Apps for Justice attacks these four related problems.

The basic idea is to greatly expand programs in which students create software as part of their education. Courses that engage students in creating ‘apps for justice’ – software applications that do useful legal work – can take on many forms.

Bracing for Impact: A new Dean Coming to Town

Presenter(s): 
Carlton Oliver, Pepperdine University School of Law
Phillip Bohl, Pepperdine University School of Law

What do you do when you have a new Dean coming? Brace for impact, put out your resume, or run and hide?

Preparing for a new law school Dean can be a task ripe for angst, confusion and a whole lot of work. Should we barrage our new leader with our most pressing needs, should we work tirelessly to prove just how perfect our department is, or should we fly low under the radar?
