Deliverables
Ongoing Deliverables
- Schedule and participate in weekly virtual meetings with your Practitioner Mentor and Academic Mentor
- Alternate meeting with your mentors. If during one week you meet with your Academic Mentor, then the next week you should meet with your Practitioner Mentor.
- Meetings should last approximately 1 hour.
- Attend weekly Virtual Thought Leader Sessions and participate on The Panel once during the semester
- When on The Panel, you are required to share your video, provide comments, and ask questions throughout the whole session. You are as much a component of this session as are the Thought Leaders. As such, you should prepare for the session by doing research on the topic and on the Thought Leaders themselves. See http://www.lawwithoutwalls.org/virtualsessions for the schedule of panelists.
- When you are not on The Panel, you are still required to engage in the discussion via the live chat or by putting your name in The Queue to share your video and address The Panel.
- Schedule and participate in one or two virtual meetings with your Team’s Subject Expert Advisor before April
- Schedule and participate in one or two virtual meetings with your Team’s Entrepreneur Advisor before April
