Building a Just Society: The Role of Lawyers and Legal Education in Uncertain Times
We recently celebrated two years of 카지노해외 카지노 추천s 해외 카지노 추천Live with Kellye & Ken해외 카지노 추천 webinars and marked the anniversary by hosting a conversation with Dean Jenny Martinez of Stanford Law School.
There해외 카지노 추천s so much going on in the world right now, from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and its resulting damage to the economy, to the protests and clashes over racial injustice and a pivotal upcoming election. We wanted to take a moment to reflect on the role of law and legal education during these unprecedented times, and Dean Martinez was able to offer a thoughtful look at why now, more than ever, is the time to start a career in law.
Dean Martinez noted that these troubled times highlight the role of lawyers as problem solvers who can resolve differences and bring us together. Current events have demonstrated the power of law in shaping the society we live in and the opportunities people have. 해외 카지노 추천You really do have the potential to make a difference,해외 카지노 추천 Martinez said, 해외 카지노 추천and to figure out what해외 카지노 추천s not working and think about how to do it better.해외 카지노 추천 It해외 카지노 추천s a challenge, but also inspiring, and aligns with the research we해외 카지노 추천ve done at 카지노: People really do want to get out there and make a difference via a law degree.
Of course, there are many pathways to a law degree, and Dean Martinez is proof of that. Her mother, who해외 카지노 추천s now retired, was a lawyer, but Dean Martinez didn해외 카지노 추천t always know she wanted to enter that field. She had many different interests in high school and college, then took some time off after college before deciding to go to law school. 해외 카지노 추천For me, time off after college was productive,해외 카지노 추천 she said, noting that people concerned about enrolling during COVID-19 might benefit from the same approach. 해외 카지노 추천Think about why you want to study law; then, if it해외 카지노 추천s what you want, take the leap.해외 카지노 추천
For those who have taken that leap this year, Dean Martinez shared what campus life looks like during a pandemic. Stanford Law School, like many schools across the country, is employing a hybrid model with a mix of in-person and online classes. The school is also offering some classes outdoors, where the risk of spreading COVID-19 is dramatically lower. 해외 카지노 추천Everyone is trying to deal with uncertainty as we navigate this,해외 카지노 추천 she said. 해외 카지노 추천We해외 카지노 추천re trying to be as cautious as we can and support people해외 카지노 추천s choices.해외 카지노 추천
Dean Martinez also touched on how schools are helping their students through this challenging time. Stanford has provided additional financial aid and support to students affected by COVID-19, and it is also looking for creative ways to help stressed-out students. Additionally, the school, like many others, is providing coursework that addresses the social issues we해외 카지노 추천re currently facing to help contextualize why these students are in law school and the important mission they해외 카지노 추천re aiming to serve.
As we move past COVID-19, Dean Martinez expects that the practice of law and the way law schools operate will be forever changed. Technology will play more of a role in both arenas than it ever has, with more law firms and court systems doing business online. In a larger sense, Dean Martinez believes technology, and its role in our society, must be at the forefront of lawyers해외 카지노 추천 minds, as must our country해외 카지노 추천s need to grapple with its history of racism and the way the law has both perpetuated, and can be a part of ending, it.
As Dean Martinez noted in closing, the rule of law is the basic foundation on which people해외 카지노 추천s well-being is built. It해외 카지노 추천s a noble calling, she said, for lawyers to help create the conditions under which a society can flourish, and that sentiment dovetails with 카지노해외 카지노 추천s mission of creating a more just and prosperous world through legal education.
