Welcome

Law school education is in transition and tools are available for changing the legal education system to better prepare students for the practice of law.

The Legal Education Renaissance Report is an online Journal of Legal Education in Transition.  It is a broad based, up-to-date resource of innovations in curriculum and teaching methods in law schools and K-12, college prep, undergraduate education, online learning, technology, and business training that can be applied to legal education. 

The Legal Education Renaissance Report originated in a book titled “A Legal Education Renaissance: A Practical Approach For The Twenty-First Century: The History and Status of Legal Education.“   The book suggests a model for change and incorporates modern learning theory. It addresses curriculum, teaching, faculty, and costs.

It is with great hope for the future of the legal profession and the legal education system that we invite you to join the discussion. Together we can create a Legal Education Renaissance.

Send us your comments and education innovations.  They will be included in the journal.
