     SYMPOSIUM ON LAWYERS, LEADERSHIP, AND
       CHANGE: ADDRESSING CHALLENGES AND
       OPPORTUNITIES IN UNPRECEDENTED TIMES


                          Donald   J. Polden*


     The  Santa Clara University School  of Law  and its Law Review  are
a national  leader in educating  lawyers  and  law  students for greater
capacity  to lead in the  legal profession and  legal institutions. The
following  symposium   articles constitute the third symposium  issue on
leadership education  and development   for lawyers and  law students to
be published in the Santa Clara Law  Review.' As  the need for leadership
education  in law school  receives more  recognition, it is evidence that
lawyers   lead  in  various  settings, including  politics, government
administration, law practice, and others.
     This symposium   issue follows an impressive conference  sponsored
by the Santa Clara  Law  Review  on February 26, 2021.  The  conference,
titled Lawyers, Leadership   and  Change:  Addressing   Challenges  and
Opportunities  in Unprecedented   Times,2 included  presentations by the
authors of the articles in this symposium issue. The conference was also
notable because of the presentations on the great contributions of the late
Deborah   Rhode   of Stanford  Law   School.  Her   contributions to the
advancement   of the field of leadership education and development   for


     * Professor of Law, Santa Clara University School of Law. Professor Polden served as
an advisor to the Santa Clara Law Review team that planned and sponsored a symposium
conducted remotely in April 2021.
    1. Previous symposium issues are: 52 SANTA CLARA LAW REVIEW, Issue 3 (2012)
and 58 SANTA CLARA  LAW  REVIEW, issue 3 (2018). More significantly, the symposium
issue on leadership and lawyers is a part of a national trend in legal education to explicitly
seek to develop leadership abilities in law students. In recent years, law journals at University
of Tennessee, Hofstra, Stanford, and Baylor law schools have hosted national conferences on
the subject and published symposium issues. The growth of leadership education courses,
programs, and other initiatives is documented in the article of Associate Dean and Professor
Leah Teague in this issue of the Santa Clara Law Review (and in prior articles that are
referenced in the article). Leah Teague, Growing Number ofLeadership Programs and Courts
Supports Professional Identity Formation, 62 SANTA CLARA L. REV. 149 (2022).
