Legal Educator in Residence Howard E. Katz made two presentations at the Ninth Annual Aspen Publishing Leading Edge Conference, held at the MIT Endicott House in Dedham, Massachusetts on July 10-12. The invitation-only conference brought together thirty-two thought leaders to discuss topics relevant to the future of legal education. Howard led two discussions. One session was on “(re)Designing the Curriculum (Especially the First Year) to Accomplish More/Other Things (and to Create Opportunity for Different Students to Thrive.” The other session, which Howard led along with Dean Michael Barry of South Texas School of Law, addressed the preparation students have or don’t have when entering law school, and ways of helping students, once they are admitted and enrolled, who do not have access to the unwritten rules of how to do law school.
