A New Future for Pro Bono and CLE

December 11, 2011

It’s been months since I wrote, and it would be easy to think I’ve forgotten about continuing legal education completely, but that would be wrong. I even spoke on it at the end of October for a Denver Bar Association’s pro bono week Ignite event. In five [very brief] minutes, I outlined a more structured [...]

Redefining CLE

March 30, 2011

CLE is about professional development and that doesn’t stop and start with an event–live or online. And it’s certainly not defined by the credits you submit to a regulatory authority at the end of the year. It’s an ongoing learning process that comes in many forms. Which is why my organization launched this site just over a year ago. Through it, we’re sharing all the information we learn in the course of doing what we already do: planning programs, publishing books, and looking out for the professional development of Colorado lawyers.

If I didn’t blog about CLE I’d probably blog about transparency in democracy). As taken as I am with them, there’s really nothing new [...]

Rethinking the Classroom

October 12, 2010

It’s hard to argue that we should change the physical dimensions of a conference room if the way we’re teaching and learning hasn’t changed, but it’s still important to think about why we set up a conference room the way we do.

Flipping the Script

October 8, 2010

The flip, or flip-thinking, was introduced to me by Dan Pink via Jeff Hurt, which I found amusing because it was actually happening right under my nose in a Colorado classroom led by high school algebra teacher, Karl Fisch. Fisch’s experiment, and the ways it might be used for continuing education, has finally managed to get me excited about hybrid events all over again.
