Dates Announced For Conference Of Preparing Law Students For Legal Practice

Washburn University School of Law is hosting The Institute for Law Teaching and Learning Summer Conference from June 9-11, 2016 in Topeka, Kansas. Provided below are some details on the conference:

The Institute for Law Teaching and Learning 2016 summer conference will address the many ways that law schools are preparing students to enter the real world of law practice. With the rising demands for “practice-ready” lawyers, this topic has taken on increased urgency in recent years. How are law schools and law professors taking on the challenge of graduating students who are ready to join the real world of practicing attorneys? Can we be doing more?

Workshops will address real-world readiness in first-year courses, upper-level courses, required courses, electives, or academic support teaching. Workshops will present innovative teaching materials, course designs, and curricular or program designs. Each workshop will also include materials that participants can use during the workshop and also when they return to their campuses.
