Data-Driven Transformation - Using Technology to Promote a Culture of Assessment in Legal Education

Abstract: Legal education is undergoing a transformation. Assessing institutional effectiveness is a growing concern for the ABA and was the subject of several new accreditation standards that were approved in August of 2014. Law schools are finding it increasingly necessary to transform to address the challenges of these new assessment initiatives, or risk becoming obsolete. This session will focus on technological solutions that can help law schools quickly adapt to the rapidly shifting landscape of legal education.
