Couchiching Roundtable on the Future of Legal Education

We learn from the redoubtable Howard Knopf that the Couchiching Institute is having one of its celebrated roundtables in Ottawa on May 27 with Ottawa U law dean Bruce Feldthusen on The Future of Legal Education.

As the announcement says:

This comes at crucial time, when enrolments in American law schools are sharply down due to decreased demand for graduates. Opportunities for new graduates in Canada are decreasing, and many competent graduates cannot even find articling positions. Yet, we are seeing the creation of new law schools in Canada. There are many challenges and opportunities ahead for legal education in Canada. Dean Feldthusen has kindly agreed to talk about these issues, as he retires from the deanship of one of Canada’s leading schools.
