Law School "Classrooms" of the Future: Teaching Legal Skills in a Connected World

Presenter(s): 
Larry Farmer, Brigham Young University, J. Reuben Clark Law School

The past decade has seen rapid expansion in the use of online methods to supplement, and even replace, traditional classroom instruction. The rate of change in education brought about by online innovations is certain to increase and will, undoubtedly, finally impact on the relatively insular world of legal education. This presentation first (a) examines ABA policies governing the use of online methods for delivering instruction in JD programs and (b) then looks at how those policies are likely to evolve in the near term, and finally (c) explores where the surprisingly broad range of online educational innovations allowed by these policies might take legal education in the future.
