Students, alumni, and the bar are all increasingly eager to support broader movements and community partners beyond small teaching pro bono caseloads. Meanwhile, we are delving more deeply into our teaching missions, defining and reporting our students’ learning outcomes. The goal of this session is to reexamine a prosaic resource—the case management database system—as a potentially useful tool for supporting both demands. Session participants will discuss current uses of their case management database systems, learn about new technology allowing their programs and community partners to more efficiently interact around case referrals, and see a demonstration of a pilot program that allows students to record self-evaluations within the case management database to track learning outcomes.
