    In the midst of discussions of the future of legal education, debate continues on whether there are too many lawyers or a maldistribution of those in the profession. This session focuses on whether proposed changes in legal education, and the cost, will offer a solution to this problem or further exacerbate efforts to provide free or affordable legal services to all citizens by directing graduates towards employment options that allow them to pay off their indebtedness. Presenters will also discuss the continuing need to provide low cost legal services through clinical education and recent innovations such as the provision incubator law firms and the use of technology.
