Redesigning Legal:

As part of our Redesigning Legal Speaker Series, on December 7, 11 a.m.–12 p.m. MDT, The Center For Innovation and its partners will explore the opportunities being created by regulatory innovation for legal education.

Titled "The Role of Legal Education, Clinics, and Legal Labs" This program will explore the opportunities being created by regulatory innovation for legal education. Panelists will focus on how law schools are responding and adapting to the prospect of fewer barriers to innovation that offer increased employment opportunities for their students, more roles for people other than lawyers in the delivery of legal services, the creation of tiered legal service providers, and collaboration across professional fields to provide more and new kinds of legal services.

This panel will include Stacy Butler (Director of the Innovation for Justice Program, University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law), Anna Carpenter (Professor of Law and Director of Clinical Programs, University of Utah S.J. Quinney College of Law), April Dawson (Associate Dean of Technology and Innovation, North Carolina Central University School of Law), and Michele Pistone (Professor of Law and Director of the Clinic for Asylum, Refugee and Emigrant Services, Villanova University Charles Widger School of Law), whose conversation will be moderated by Jordan Furlong (Principal, Law21).
