The 2020-2021 academic year was an unprecedented time. Legal educators grappled with the multi-faceted implications of COVID-19 while simultaneously grappling with a racial reckoning. Presenters will discuss the psychological impact of our abrupt shift to virtual education, including issues related to isolation and stress, compassion fatigue, and increased workloads. Panelists will examine the weaknesses that these pandemics have revealed while simultaneously revealing areas of strength and opportunities for improvement in legal education, particularly those designed to generate a growth mindset and promote inclusivity, mindfulness, and self-efficacy in students.
