Abstract
Legal education has been challenged, and the LSSSE Annual Report reveals that while the core of legal education remains relatively unchanged, the “intangibles” of law school learning were certainly affected. Above all, the data show unequivocally that our students have been in crisis. Students have struggled to meet their basic needs, with troubling percentages reporting increased worries about housing, financial instability, and even food insecurity. While most made efforts to build relationships with faculty, staff, and classmates, their overall quality of life declined along with opportunities for academic engagement and professional development. The pandemic is a wake up call for the law school to rethink the future of legal education.
