Reflections on the Future of Legal Education

In 2012, the American Bar Association (“ABA”) created the Task Force on the Future of Legal Education (“Task Force”), which was charged with making recommendations to the ABA about how law schools, the ABA, state bar associations, and other groups and organizations can address the economics of legal education and its delivery to law students. The ABA determined that the Task Force was needed to respond to the rapid and substantial changes in the legal profession caused by the national and global economy.
