Teams for KickOff in St. Gallen, Switzerland: 14-15 January, 2012
Overview
In order to cultivate working relationships among all participants, LawWithoutWalls™ kicks off overseas at the University of St. Gallen Executive School in Law & Management on 14 and 15 January, 2012.
Like last year, we will actively participate in exercises that develop individual awareness, build team camaraderie, and hone communication, teaming, idea generation, and entrepreneurial skills.
Students will participate and interact with thought leaders and lawyer entrepreneurs from around the world. Together the LawWithoutWalls community will engage in lively discussions about current problems facing the legal profession in countries around the world and how innovation and change can occur.
LawWithoutWalls is, among other things, an attempt to eliminate the barriers between faculty and students, business and law, professors and practitioners, education and practice. Thus, the KickOff is anything but a typical conference. Instead, it is a collaborative, skills-intensive working session designed to challenge the way we think, the way we learn, and the way we communicate with each other. In keeping with the spirit of LawWithoutWalls, we will try new things, take on risks, and hopefully learn a great deal about ourselves, each other, and what we want for the future.
