LawWithoutWalls is all about collaboration and innovation. The 200+ people currently participating in LawWithoutWalls are doing so because they believe that legal education and practice should embrace the challenges posed by the globalization of our world, the development of new technologies, the introduction of new legal service providers, the necessity for increased access to justice, the transdiciplinary nature of clients’ needs, and the disappearing distinction between business and law.

LawWithoutWalls celebrated its inaugural year in 2010.  It took place over one semester and included six law schools from within the United States and outside the country: Fordham Law, Harvard Law, Miami Law, New York Law School, Peking University School of Transnational Law, and University College London Faculty of Laws.  We had twenty-three students, eleven Academic Mentors, eleven Practitioner Mentors, four entrepreneurs, fourteen subject experts and three researchers all working together to identify problems in legal practice or education and create real solutions.  Today, we have over 200 individuals involved in LawWithoutWalls including law and business professionals, academics, venture capitalists, 18 business and law schools and 40 current students for 2013. This year we announced our first Global Law Firm Partner, Eversheds, a firm that frequently tops the league tables when it comes to innovating in the global legal sector. Our partnership welcomes many of their junior lawyers and clients from around the world to our global community, where they will play an integral role in mentoring our students throughout their LawWithoutWalls experience.
