Transliteracy & Technology Research to create a Legal Learning Commons
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. We will present the findings of our informal and formal surveys to examine possible technologies students should have exposure to before they graduate. This session also discusses the concept of transliteracy and its application to law libraries, law students, and litigation and transactional lawyers.
