Abstract:
"The abrupt move to online legal education in the spring of 2020 accelerated the move to online legal education that has been slowing gathering steam in recent years. As more institutions consider the potential to expand their reach with online courses and programs, law professors must move past 'pandemic teaching' and seriously consider how they can create and deliver quality legal education online. This book explores techniques, tools, and strategies that can assist all types of law professors in that endeavor. The 34 chapters, authored by law professors from across the country, provide a comprehensive look at expanding legal education beyond the traditional classroom experience. Divided into four sections, the book starts by offering tips for getting started and fostering inclusion in online courses. It then moves to suggestions for course design of blended, synchronous, and asynchronous courses, including a chapter on measuring success through empirical research. Finally, it concludes with two sections on course-specific topics covering the range of legal education-from large first-year courses to seminars to skills-based courses and bar preparation"-- Provided by the publisher.
