With the bar exam changing, the next segment of the Purdue Global Law School’s Distinguished Speaker Series will be focussed on how to navigate the process to becoming an attorney. The school will host “The Future of Bar Admissions” lecture on March 11.
The dean and vice president of Purdue Global Law School, Martin Pritikin will host a panel of professors for the live webinar, according to a Purdue press release.
The professors will include Steve Bracci; associate dean of first-year programs for law at Purdue Global, Marsha Griggs; associate professor at Saint Louis University and Joan Howarth; dean emerita at Michigan State University College of Law.
The panelists will discuss bar exam changes and the alternative pathways for students to receive their legal licenses.
These different pathways include states having the option to administer the NexGen exam, an alternative to the uniform bar exam, which is “supposed to focus more on skills rather than just knowledge of the law,” Pritkin said in a video attached to the release.
“We are currently seeing some of the biggest changes in decades in how people become licensed attorneys,” Pritikin said.
The webinar will also include insights on how law graduates can prepare for the bar and the evolving world of law.
