Humanizing Legal Education

Susan Daicoff, Larry Krieger, Len Riskin, Daisy Floyd, Tim Floyd, Cindy Adcock....need we say more? If you're a legal educator, that is probably enough. If you're not, you're in for a treat. This is not the old paradigm law professor!

Part 1: Cindy Adcock,J.D. and M.Div,, Director of Experiential Education at Charlotte Law School, talks about her professional journey including reconciling being a Christian and a lawyer.

Part 1: Making the World a Better Place
Tim Floyd discusses his background in capital defense and his work at Mercer Law School as Director of Law & Public Service and helping law students find their calling in the law. He also talks about the broad range of skills needed and working together in interdisciplinary teams. Mercer works with the Georgia Justice Project, "an unlikely mix of lawyers, social workers, and a landscaping company" and he also touches on that relationship.

It is often said that many individuals, having been high achievers before entering law school, are surprised and dismayed when they receive Cs in law school. That was neither my experience nor my expectation. I fully expected to graduate in the bottom half of my class. I expected to work extraordinarily hard. Yet, I also had confidence that I could accomplish my goal of avoiding probation and possibly dismissal.

In Part 1 of this interview, Larry Krieger introduces himself and talks about the genesis of the Humanizing Legal Education movement.
