This presentation will suggest ways in which technology can be used to foster inter-school collaboration in the development of complex, rich simulations to help students learn about lawyering skills and behavior. Technological advances allow us to contemplate the possibility of active inter-school student interaction. This type of pre-clinical educational opportunity, in which the students learn by working with, and in opposition to, each other has long been a staple of legal writing courses. We now have the chance to expand and deepen those opportunities by using low-cost technology to bring students from different schools together, without falling afoul of the limitations on distance learning imposed by the ABA. This presentation will discuss some of the available technology and the benefits of simulation-based education.
After attending this presentation, conferences participants should understand how such inter-school collaboration is technically possible, academically beneficial to the students, and a challenging but exciting opportunity for legal writing faculty.
