Virtual Thought Leader Sessions
LawWithoutWalls meets virtually in real-time (with video, audio, and live chat) every week on Adobe Connect from 30 January 2013 through 27 March 2013. These sessions are a time for open and collaborative exchange among people from different disciplines about hot topics facing the legal marketplace.
In these virtual sessions, hosted by Michele DeStefano and Michael Bossone, lead academics, practitioners, business professionals, entrepreneurs, and LawWithoutWalls participants from around the world explore trends, needs, and new innovations in legal education and practice. Some sessions focus on the challenges of, and possible solutions to, the ever changing legal and business marketplace. Other sessions delve into the practical skills required of today's lawyers like idea generation, entrepreneurism, business plan development, and business analysis. And no matter what, the sessions are a mulitdisciplinary, lively interchange among a group of people who want to affect change both in how we educate law students and how we provide legal and law-related services.
