> Thursday-Saturday
> June 20-22, 2002
> The R/Evolution of Law School Computing

>
> *Revolution or Evolution?* It's really a question about the pace of
> change. The general perception is that technology changes fast - that's
> revolution, but that law school culture changes slowly - that's
> evolution. Technology does stress our culture. The students coming
> into law schools in 2002 have been using personal computers since
> kindergarten. The GUI, web and email are taken for granted where we had
> to suffer through the growing pains of the developments of these
> technologies. Change is good - Change or Die - Embrace Change, yes, but
> should we discard all that has defined legal education over the past
> century? Of course not! But there's the point. Technology doesn't
> just push towards new things, it forces us to re-examine all of our past
> assumptions in light of the new ways of doing things. This conference
> is a constant examination of our past, present and future methods and
> approaches to legal education, law school administration and law
> librarianship as seen through the lens of technological change.
