Lawyerist Guest Post: Receiving a Digital Education

By slkimbro

ADVERTISEMENTS

The following is an excerpt from my recent guest post for the Lawyerist blog discussing a mini-conference on educating the digital lawyer that I attended last week at Harvard Law sponsored by the Berkman Law Lab.

Below are a few examples of courses or programs that are successfully working to provide a digital education. Some of them have links to resources for the course or to online publications by the educator. …

I?m happy to say that the following examples are just skimming the surface of what seems to be a long overdue evolution in legal education. Thankfully several of the advancements are multidisciplinary with a strong emphasis on innovation in delivery of legal services through entrepreneurship. No matter how far removed you may be from your law school days, the quality of digital education available for current students impacts our entire profession and is worth our support.
