Additional presenters to be selected from Call for Papers.
In light of shrinking budgets, smaller applicant pools, and media criticism of legal education, how can law schools proactively address the potential influx of at-risk students? What does “at-risk” really mean? Are law schools responsible for ensuring that students succeed once they are admitted? Should law schools even admit at-risk students?
This panel will address these questions and provide helpful insights to benefit faculty, administrators, and institutions. Specifically, panelists will discuss programs and methods for supporting at-risk students, the important issue of “stereotype threat,” at-risk students and bar passage, and a unique empirical method of predicting academic success.
