Disrupting Legal Education: The Impact on Legal Education of Innovations Driven by Evolving Video Conferencing Technologies

Access to high quality, desktop video conferencing technology is rapidly becoming less costly and more pervasive. Over time this technology will very likely become a "disruptive" force that changes legal educations in both foreseeable and unforeseeable ways. This session will report on a number of ongoing pedagogical experiments in the use of desktop video conferencing technology at BYU's J. Reuben Clark Law School and examine a range of possible disruptive innovations that may occur in legal educations as this technology continues to evolve and mature.
