Educating the Digital Lawyer – the eBook
You may have already seen this, but it was new to me. In 2010-2011 Harvard Law School and New York Law School hosted a year-long contest of ideas respecting legal education called “Future Ed“. One of the results was the book Educating the Digital Lawyer edited by Marc Lauritsen and Oliver Goodenough. The book explores the question “What will legal education look like as we train our graduates to be effective lawyers in the digital world of the 21st Century?”
Published by LexisNexis, a complimentary copy of the e-book format is available here [note: clicking on this link will start downloading the full e-book]. You may need to download an ebook reader such as Adobe Digital Editions to view it.
