 Engaging Legal Research and Writing Students in the "New Normal" - Teaching in a Time of Crisis

Friday, February 26, 2021  |  11:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. EST

NSU Shepard Broad College of Law  


“Engaging LRW Students in the ‘New Normal’ –Teaching in a Time of Crisis” will address both the challenges and opportunities presented by teaching legal research and writing (LRW) in a time of great change. It will examine the various ways LRW pedagogy has been impacted by technology, politics, and contemporary anti-racism initiatives, as well as the impact of COVID-19 on these developments. It will also examine the ways in which these various issues intersect the LRW classroom and how LRW professors can address them. The Symposium presents an opportunity for academics, practitioners, and students representing a variety of perspectives to explore these timely and vitally important issues.
