On Thursday, Oct. 22, Cooley Law School President and Dean James McGrath will speak on “The New Law School Admissions Landscape: Impacts on Diversity, Access, and Legal Mentoring” during National Legal Mentoring Consortium’s conference, “The New Era of Legal Mentoring.”
The virtual conference is hosted by Cooley Law School.
During the event, speakers will address the impact of significant efforts aimed at law schools and their student populations as to diversity, equity, and inclusion, as well as the American Bar Association’s ability to continue accrediting law schools, and how mentoring leaders can respond to those efforts and prepare for the shifting makeup of the professional population.
In addition to McGrath, guest speakers also include: U.S. Magistrate Judge John Acosta (U.S. District Court, District of Oregon); William Hubbard and Derek Black, the University of South Carolina Joseph F. Rice School of Law; Judge Doris Henderson Causey, Virginia Court of Appeals; Angela Winfield, vice president and chief impact officer, Law School Admission Council; and Justice Salvador Mungia, Washington Supreme Court, among others.
Topics that will be covered during the event, include:
• The Future of Legal Mentoring in a Time of Transformation
• What Today’s Mentees Want (and Need)
• The New Frontiers of Mentoring: AI, Succession, and Coaching
• Civility, Reputation, & Professional Identity in a Polarized Era: Judicial Perspective on Professionalism and How Mentoring Can Help.
