Ten years ago, Mitchell Hamline School of Law, the leader in blended legal education, became the first ABA-approved law school to offer a J.D. that students could earn partially online and partially in person. As we enter our second decade of blended learning, join us as we continue to transform legal education and prepare new lawyers for the future of law.
This program will explore the key skills and competencies that new lawyers entering today’s legal market need to be successful and how artificial intelligence and other technologies are reshaping the practice of law and the work of lawyers. The program will also feature a panel of law professors and lawyers who will discuss how legal education must evolve to better prepare future lawyers for the challenges and opportunities ahead.
