Touro Law Center will be hosting a conference on October 3, 2008, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Enriching the curriculum by adding instruction in skills and values has been an important goal of Touro’s curricular reform. The inauguration of the Public Advocacy Center in Fall 2007 has expanded student opportunities to fulfill the profession’s obligation of public service and the conference will include a report on the status and achievements of the Public Advocacy Center. One aspect of our curriculum revision is the Court Observation Program. The afternoon portion of this conference
will focus on reviewing, assessing and improving the Court Observation Program and will feature a report prepared by the Center for Court Innovation which conducted a survey designed to help us evaluate the Program.
Confirmed speakers include Robert MacCrate, principal author of the MacCrate Report; Judith Wegner, principal author of the Carnegie Report; Vanessa Merton, contributor to the Best Practices Report; and Joseph Harbaugh, member of the ABA Special Committee on Outcome Measures.
