Description:
The COVID pandemic has disrupted higher education in the United States. In March 2020, law schools across the country suspended in person classes and switched to online formats. Since then law schools have been preparing for a fall semester like no other -- with a mix of in person, hybrid, and online classes. Join us for a conversation with deans of the area law schools as they address how law schools are adapting in the short term to the pandemic and how the new formats will affect learning, extra-curricular activities, and exams. The panel will examine the possible long term impacts of the new format, how will law schools change as a result of this experience, and what law schools have already learned about what works and doesn’t when it comes to online learning. Also discussed will be how the new format will affect subgroups of students -- international students, new 1Ls starting this fall, and students with living situations that are not conducive to online classes.
