This summer, Vice Dean Joel Nichols presented at the NCBE (National Conference of Bar Examiners) Annual Bar Admissions Conference in Seattle and at the ABA Associate Deans Conference in Salt Lake City. These conferences offer attendees – attorneys on state licensing boards, state Supreme Court Justices, directors of licensing agencies, and leaders of law schools around the country – the opportunity to engage with major issues in legal education and leadership at the national level.
At the NCBE Conference, he presented Read Between the Lines: Law Schools and Character and Fitness Issues in a discussion moderated by Lisa Perlen, Executive Director of the Tennessee Board of Law Examiners. At the ABA Conference, he served as a co-chair for the conference; led a “Day in the Life” discussion; co-hosted the plenary session, Disruption in Legal Education, with Deans Elizabeth Kronk Warner (University of Utah S.J. Quinney College of Law) and Dave Moore (BYU J. Reuben Clark Law School); and co-hosted Practical Strategies for Working with General Counsel with Associate Dean Amy Flynn (University of San Francisco School of Law).
