Technology
is changing every aspect of society, including the practice of law.  How does this change our role as clinicians?
As lawyers, we must understand how technology is changing our practice in order
to be the most effective advocates for our clients.  As teachers, we need to prepare our students
for the opportunities and challenges that technology brings for them as future
practitioners. As leaders in promoting access to justice we must evaluate and
foster the use technology in a way that best serves our communities and society
as a whole.  During this mini-plenary our
speakers will explore how technology is disrupting legal practice and how
clinical and experiential education can not only prepare our students for the
new normal but lead in harnessing new innovations in practice to solve issues
of access to justice.
