Symposium

Self-directedness (or ownership or initiative) will be a key competency for law school graduates seeking to find success in legal practice. How can law schools do more to foster self-directedness (or stop doing things that discourage self-directedness!)? How can law schools assess the extent to which students are becoming more self-directed? This presentation will discuss a progressive approach to fostering greater self-directedness in law students and provide some insights on ways of assessing self-directedness.
