LawTalk Ep. 4 - Providing Effective Feedback to Law Students and New Lawyers

Welcome to LawTalk, a podcast series produced by the University of Minnesota Law School featuring events, webinars, and panel discussions about diverse topics at the intersection of law, policy, and education. This episode, “Providing Effective Feedback to Law Students and New Lawyers,” is from a webinar panel discussion on the impact of individualized feedback on the performance and development of law students and new lawyers, based on the research and writing of Professor Daniel Schwarcz. Schwarcz, an award winning teacher and scholar, presents his findings and their applications in academia and beyond and serves as moderator for the discussion. Minnesota Law alumni Nora Klaphake ‘94, founder and CEO of Legal Talent Group, and Amarachi Ihejirika ‘16, a product liability defense lawyer with Blackwell Burke in Minneapolis, join Professor Schwarcz as panelists, bringing their insights on the applications of Schwarcz’s research in hiring, training, and retaining the next generation of lawyers. Rachel Brass, co-chair of the Law School Academic Engagement Committee, provides opening remarks. This event was sponsored by the University of Minnesota Law School Board of Advisors Academic Engagement Committee. This webinar was originally recorded on November 20, 2020.
