As more law students and lawyers find themselves holding positions outside of law firms, law schools must prepare their students to play a wide variety of leadership roles in both the public and private sector. Lawyers, through their legal education and training, are especially needed as leaders in these challenging times. The 2020 Section on Leadership’s program will feature conversations with lawyers who serve in a variety of roles, including government, public interest, judiciary, and professional associations. The panel will discuss the need for law schools to better equip their students for the challenges they will face as leaders in an increasingly complex and challenging world.
Business meeting will be held on Friday, January 3, 2020 at 7:00 am.
