JoAnne Epps, dean of Temple's Beasley School of Law, said that the recent Carnegie Foundation report, "Educating Lawyers," and the changing economic climate have encouraged law schools to take a look at their curriculums in an effort to improve the marketability of their students. The focus has been on experiential learning and how to impose a better understanding of the general business climate in which students will practice. "The model of legal education as purely graduate education is giving way to a recognition that students need professional skills and an understanding of the arenas in which law is practiced," Epps said. These programs cost money and how to balance the need with the cost presents tough questions all law schools are trying to tackle, she said.
