Big or small, we are all in the same boat in trying to stretch our limited budgetary dollars as much as possible in order to provide the best service we can to our Law School communities. When you step back, look at your department and ask “What do you want to do with your life?” sometimes you have to get creative, throw away the included user manual and find new ways to repurpose, reinvent or just revitalize the equipment you have in order to achieve your goals. Tony, Chad, Ian and Jayson will discuss some of the tips and tricks that we have employed at the UNM School of Law to get the most out of our equipment, personnel and budget. We also promise that we won’t move in…maybe

Law school clinics, where the central teaching methodology is face-to-face interactions between professors and students, account for the majority of experiential and practical training available today in legal education. Online education hasn't yet made substantial inroads into this setting, but as the methods of online instruction continue to evolve it seems likely that clinical legal education will soon begin to incorporate some forms of online learning. This presentation will explore ways in which clinicians can leverage online technologies to optimize their teaching resources and bolster student learning. Specifically, it will examine how online learning can be used to teach foundational skills and concepts needed by all incoming clinical students and to deliver just-in-time-instruction to students as they prepare to meet with clients.
