On April 26, Syracuse Law Review will bring together legal education experts from across the country for a groundbreaking symposium exploring the impact of online education on law schools and the legal profession. The one-day symposium—“Online Learning and the Future of Legal Education”—will explore the challenges and opportunities presented by online learning.

fingers touching keyboardThe symposium comes at an important moment in legal education. Around the nation, law schools and law professors are pioneering new forms of online teaching. Many law schools now make select courses available online or have launched online master’s degree programs. A handful of schools—including the College of Law—are even bringing their J.D. programs online. This new reality raises important questions and theoretical challenges for legal education and the practice of law more broadly.

The symposium will result in the first Law Review issue devoted entirely to exploring these questions. Authors presenting papers addressing the impact of online education on the legal profession include the following:

  • Jack Graves, professor of law and director of digital legal education, Touro Law Center
  • Andrew P. Morriss, dean, School of Innovation, and vice president of entrepreneurship and economic development, Texas A&M University
  • Eric S. Janus, president and dean, William Mitchell College of Law
  • Nina Kohn, David M. Levy Professor of Law and associate dean for online education, Syracuse University
  • James McGrath, professor of paw and associate dean for academic support, bar passage and compliance, Texas A&M School of Law
  • Michael Hunter Schwartz, dean and professor of law, University of the Pacific McGeorge School of Law
  • Victoria Sutton, Paul Whitfield Horn Professor and associate dean for digital learning and graduate education, Texas Tech University School of Law
  • Noelle Sweany, clinical associate professor, educational psychology, Texas A&M University Department of Education and Human Development
  • Kellye Testy, president and CEO, Law School Admission Council, and professor of law, University of Washington School of Law
  • David Thomson, professor of practice and John C. Dwan Professor for Online Learning, University of Denver Strum School of Law

In addition, the symposium will feature a lunchtime conversation on the regulatory and accreditation landscape for legal education with Barry Currier, managing director, accreditation and legal education, American Bar Association. The conversation will be moderated by Syracuse University College of Law Dean Craig M. Boise.
