Washington & Lee Revised Third Year Curriculum Reform Response to Carnegie
Excerpt: Spurred on by the influential 2007 Carnegie Report on Educating Lawyers and similar studies critical of law schools for failing to prepare students for actual law practice, many law schools began to explore curricular reforms.

Legal Education at the Crossroads
The first word that comes to mind: Overwhelming. I'm here at the Legal Education at the Crossroads conference at UW in Seattle.

There are over 90 presenters and most of the presentations are running multiple times so there are always many options. The next word that comes to mind: Exciting! This is what we dreamed of ten years ago and now it is happening. We've moved beyond the mavericks and pioneers and are teetering on the Tipping Point.
