Law Schools & Emerging Frontiers in Curriculum, Lawyering, and Social Justice – Newark, NJ

Rutgers Law Review presents its 2009 Symposium, “A Legal Education Prospectus: Law Schools & Emerging Frontiers in Curriculum, Lawyering, and Social Justice”.  This event will take place Friday, April 17, 2009 at the Rutgers School of Law, Newark.

Speakers will discuss innovative approaches to legal education, including curricular reform, the use of technology, and the unique potential for law schools to inculcate public and professional values in students. An afternoon panel, composed of Rutgers Law alumni and professors, will focus exclusively on the role Rutgers Law in shaping the law in New Jersey via three cases —Abbot v. Burke, In re Quinlan, and In re Baby M.

The Symposium is free and open to students and the general public, but registration is required. Rutgers Law Review will provide breakfast, lunch, and a cocktail reception.
