Pedagogy in Tumultuous Times

Higher education and legal education are facing profound challenges that can impact all student learning, particularly across a wide range of learning styles and backgrounds. Added to this is the uncertainty currently surrounding the California Bar Examination and the national shift to the NextGen Bar Exam.

These present a unique opportunity for the West Coast Academic Support and Bar Professionals, and broader law school community to come together, share resources, build community, and strengthen our pedagogy.  This conference will center on how we are adapting to an evolving landscape to best support student success. 

For a decade, Academic Support/Bar Professionals on the West Coast gathered annually for a regional conference, and given these challenging times, it is the perfect moment to also revive this important tradition.

We are honored to have this conference sponsored by AccessLex Institute and UC Law San Francisco.
