In an age of voluminous technological and professional change, and with requisite practical skills evolving in real time, law schools are facing real challenges in moulding the next generation of lawyers, one dean reflects.
In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes back Professor Catherine Renshaw, the dean of the School of Law at Western Sydney University, to discuss the challenges facing law schools in grappling with the changing landscape, navigating generational attitudes from those coming through the ranks, the extent to which law schools have to counsel students through perceptions about their job prospects in the age of AI, how emerging lawyers can develop critical judgement without doing traditional grunt work, how law schools can identify the right pathway moving forward, and whether students need to meet law schools halfway in building the future approaches to legal education.
