On the show today we are happy to welcome back Ian Holloway, Dean of Law at the University of Calgary where he led the implementation of the Calgary Curriculum, which offers a more hands-on approach to legal education than you typically find at most law schools around the country.
Our discussion covers many topics including:
The history of our current model of legal education;
The importance of young lawyers receiving hands on mentorship from their more senior counterparts; and
The cost of legal education and whether or not the high price is necessarily a bad thing.
If you want to hear more from Dean Holloway, you can follow him on twitter (@LawDeanHolloway) or sign up today for the Goodlawyer Summit taking place on November 3rd & 4th where Dean Holloway will be one of our many esteemed speakers taking the stage.
The Goodlawyer Summit is a hybrid virtual and in-person event that will empower entrepreneurs and startups to level up their businesses, while bringing together some of the brightest minds in law to reimagine a future where legal work is seen as a catalyst and not an obstacle. Make sure you reserve your free (but limited) tickets today!
