SEABC PROGRAM EVALUATION COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

SEABC PROGRAM EVALUATION COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATOINS
Recommendation Permanent Body to Advise and Cooperate with Law Schools The Board of Governors should either create a new committee or completely reimagine the current Student Education and Admissions to the Bar Committee to be a permanent body that will advise and cooperate with law schools, and to act as a liaison on the following issues: A.Technology training for law students geared toward the practice of law for new lawyers. B.Supporting and/or setting up incubator programs at law schools for new practicing attorneys. C.Further defining and cooperating with law schools to ensure all new graduates have the full range of legal, non-legal and professional identity skills necessary for new lawyers building on the list of competencies approved by the committee after our first year of study and discussion. D.Exploring partnerships with the Bar, law firms and individual lawyers to reduce the cost of law school. E.Working with schools individually to pursue alternative methods of structuring curricula best suited to each law school environment as discussed throughout the report. F.Monitoring all sources of legal education reform, including the Section of Legal Education and Admissions, The Florida Supreme Court, ABA House of Delegates, Board of Bar Examiners, American Association of Law Schools, ABA Section of Legal Education and Admission to the Bar, and others. The committee should be charged with specifically maintaining the institutional knowledge of all legal education reforms for the Board of Governors to prevent any disconnect between the Bar and legal education in the future. Such membership should not be limited to academics, but rather contain an assortment of young lawyers, including student representatives, established lawyers, academics, judges, and non- lawyers. Status No action has been taken on this recommendation. Action Board vote to refer to the Program Evaluation Committee to study whether to create a new committee or completely reimagine the current Student Education and Admissions to the Bar Committee to be a permanent body that will advise and cooperate with law schools and act as a liaison on the above issues.
