John Palfrey, Executive Director of the Center, writes about the project: Over the course of this fall, we’re working with partners at Lexis-Nexis on a survey of lawyers and a white paper on ways that technology might appropriately be used in the teaching of law. The project is being spearheaded by new Berkman fellow Gene Koo. While on a much smaller scale than the curriculum reform just passed at HLS, this research project is intended to be in step with the hard look at whether law teaching today prepares students well for the practice of law.

I think that your comment is particularly important in light of the emergence of citizen-generated media, the rise of informal sources like wikipedia, and the like. In my own little way, I'll try to live up to the challenge you set forth. Thanks for posting. -JP Great point!

Beyond use of the current existing electronic resources, we are hoping students will learn, among other things, how to critically assessing information sources, determine how current the information is, and how to research methodically so that comprehensive research is conducted. Not to say that wasn't addressed previously, but other schools are bound to emulate your changes if they are successful. All the best in this new challenge!
