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?

Transliteracy & Technology Research to create a Legal Learning Commons

Presenter(s): 
Katie Miller, Florida State University College of Law
Elizabeth Farrell, Florida State University College of Law

At FSU’s Research Center we want to help our students become transliterate and to successfully bridge the gap between law school and law practice. To do this, we are creating a legal learning commons where students can receive instruction, collaborate, practice legal drafting, perform legal research and gain exposure to technologies that are not typically seen in law schools but are commonly used by lawyers in practice. But before investing in software and hardware we needed to know what technology lawyers are actually using. So we asked them.

Join us for a panel discussion that highlights the iPad’s uniqueness and utility. From a variety of teaching tools at a professor’s fingertips to student interaction across campuses, the iPad can transform the legal classroom into much more.

We will hit upon the innovative uses, useful applications, demonstrate real world classroom and teaching methods, and illustrate how to launch an iPad faculty initiative. New features of the iPad 2 will also be highlighted in this fun, interactive discussion.
