The State and Future of Legal Education
Sponsored by the McGeorge Law Review at the University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law
About the Symposium
Legal education is under the spotlight in terms of the services and value they provide their students. While the number of applications for law school has steadily increased since over the past decade, employment numbers for recent law school graduates have declined.
This symposium will provide an assessment of how legal pedagogy can best prepare students for the emerging legal services market. In addition, the symposium will address what must law schools do to provide real value to their students, who face a very uncertain future in a changing legal market and economy.
