In a newly published volume, the Elon Law Review features scholarship on experiential education emanating from a national symposium held at Elon Law in 2014.
Articles and notes from Volume Seven, Issue One of the Elon Law Review are available here.
In an introduction to the volume, Elon Law Dean Luke Bierman and Elon Law Review Editor-in-Chief Brittany Teague connect discourse from the symposium to scholarship in the law review.
“Recognizing the increasing demand for innovation in law and legal education, panelists from the legal field and beyond shared research findings that indicated the acceleration of law student professional development through experiential education,” Bierman and Teague write. “Similarly, Issue 7:1 of the Elon Law Review offers articles dedicated to experiential education, including a report from the working groups of the Alliance for Experiential Learning in Law, which was contemplated at the Second National Symposium on Experiential Education in Law.”
