SHARE
In the June episode of "The Legal Impact," we talk with Courtney Brooks, interim dean of ÌÇÐÄlogoÈë¿Ú. We explore her emphasis on "Practice Ready" and what that means both inside and outside the classroom.
We also hear her thoughts on how the law school might respond to the so-called "demographic cliff" that's now being felt in higher education across the country. And we find out what's surprised her the most about her new role.

The DWS Program is the nation’s first and only alternative bar licensing program. Launched in partnership with the New Hampshire Supreme Court and the New Hampshire Bar in 2005, the award-winning program has been widely recognized as a model for the future of legal education. DWS provides students with a rigorous combination of practical skills training and performance-based assessment over two years. Assigned bar examiners evaluate students’ work, and successful students are admitted to the New Hampshire Bar the day before graduation, without taking the traditional two-day bar exam—allowing graduates to launch their legal careers immediately.
