95 Can. B. Rev. 1 (2017)

handle is hein.journals/canbarev95 and id is 1 raw text is: VoL. 95 2017 No. 1 CANADIAN BAR REVIEW EDITION ON LEGAL EDUCATION: INTRODUCTION FROM THE CBA LEGAL FUTURES INITIATIVE AND THE CBA EQUAL JUSTICE INITIATIVE This special edition of the Canadian Bar Review stems from the event, Transforming Legal Education in Canada: A Workshop to Inspire Change, hosted jointly by the Canadian Bar Review and the Legal Futures Initiative in Toronto in March 2016. The workshop brought together academics, lawyers and law students for a day of creative thinking. Participants worked together in small groups to critically analyze and test emerging ideas on how to select, educate, license, train, and assess the lawyers of the future. In addition, thirteen scholars, practitioners, and professional educators presented papers, introducing new ideas and sparking the day's discussion. Readers of the Canadian Bar Review can now also engage with those thought-provoking ideas through this special edition. The workshop arose from our growing understanding of the changing needs of the profession. Learning is now a life-long commitment for lawyers. Our clients come to us more empowered, with increasing access to legal information online and to assistance from other professionals. To meet the challenges from these and other new competitors, lawyers need a wider set of skills, particularly from other disciplines, and they also need to keep their skills current through effective training methods. On a deeper level, change is necessary to ensure that the profession can reach and serve everyone's legal needs. To achieve this goal, the profession should reflect the diversity of the population it serves. As the gatekeeper to the profession, education plays a key role in shaping the next generation of lawyers, and therefore the ability to thrive in this environment of change.
