Wrapping Things Up

Karen Sloan here from The National Law Journal. I just wanted to thank the contributors, commenters and readers of this forum. This past week or so of discussion has been a helpful roadmap to the challenges facing legal education and has also offered some potential solutions. You can read a condensed version of this forum here.

We did not concieve of this forum as an ongoing project, but The National Law Journal will continue to cover the evolution of law schools. Thanks again for reading.

About the Blog

  • Rising tuition. Misleading employment statistics. Inadequate skills training. Law schools have faced plenty of criticism for their role in the struggles of young lawyers today. The National Law Journal has assembled a panel of legal educators and law graduates to discuss whether law schools are facing a crisis, and how they should respond to their mounting problems.
