At the end of March, the Berkman Center celebrated the release of Gene Koo’s study on the relation between the development of legal education and the technology required for modern-day practice, entitled: New Skills, New Learning: Legal Education and the Promise of Technology.This week at the Berkman Center, Gene presented his findings during the weekly Luncheon Series and sought to identify concrete steps that can be taken to help students transition to successful legal careers.

Gene specifically cited both the recent Carnegie study and the extensive MacCrate Report as additional resources for determining the most effective steps for the future. During the lunch, questions raised were primarily in regards to how best to instill values important to the practice of law, how to incorporate the technology without diminishing interpersonal skills, and why this need is specific to the law school education as opposed to other professional level education.

Law schools don’t just educate new lawyers; they house vibrant communities that research, develop, and share legal knowledge. How might law schools take advantage of our increasingly networked environment or use emerging network technologies to foster robust learning communities? Can such communities bridge between the academy and practice?

On the occasion of Harvard Law School’s most significant curriculum revision since the 1870s, join law professors, professional educators, practicing attorneys, and technologists to discuss the coming transformation of legal education.
