Description
The SALT Committee on Issues in Legal Education takes as its touchstone of the vision statement it is developing that law schools are stewards of justice. However, the moment we turn to practical conversations, issues of cost crop up at every turn: tuition, scholarships, loans; facilities; salaries, tenure, the balance of scholarship and teaching; shared revenues; and the value of legal education relative to its cost. Any re-visioning of legal education has to deal with costs. In this program, several leading deans will introduce how they view some key cost issues. The bulk of the time will be reserved for discussion among all those present. This presentation is designed to be a conversation.
