In this episode, we speak with Professor Maybell Romero, Associate Professor of Law at Nothern Illinois University College of Law about law school post-pandemic.
Some key takeaways
- Zoom classes have given professors time and space to offer more in-class assessments, a practice that is likely to migrate into in-person classroom learning.
- Initial hiring practices via video are likely to stay, offering more access to applicants who can't necessarily afford to travel for that first interview.
- We do miss seeing our students in person and can't wait to get back into the classroom!
