Dissolving Boundaries: Law, Law Jobs, and the Role of Law Schools in the New Century
[Conferences]
27 April -- 29 April 2001
Yale Law School: A Tercentennial conference on legal education examines the changing boundaries of legal teaching, scholarship, and practice as Yale enters its fourth century. Internally, legal scholars and teachers are drawing methods, materials, and styles of argument from other disciplines. Externally, lawyers are joining investment bakers, business consultants, and other professionals in multidisciplinary practices. Yale's Tercentennial provides an occasion to take stock of the ways in which the traditional boundaries that defined the teaching, study, and practice of law have dissolved or been redrawn, and to inquire how law schools may best to - and actively try to shape - these changes.
