Announcing the 2010 Symposium

America’s laws schools are reevaluating the way they teach the law. Recent research has suggested new techniques for legal education, and some law schools have either made pedagogical changes or are considering doing so.

Participants in the Iowa Law Review’s symposium, entitled “The Future of Legal Education,” will include professors, practitioners, and judges, and they will critique the prevalent methods of teaching legal education, address proposed reforms, and debate what steps law schools should take to best prepare students for the practice of law.
