Igniting Law Teaching is a conference coming up on March 20th that will feature all kinds of legal educators presenting their insights & projects into how the law school experience can be improved. 
The conference happened last year as well — and all of the speakers’ individual videos are here for you to peruse. There’s lot of ideas to explore, especially for those who teach in law school, those who are law students (or considering going to law school), and even those working on ventures that involve teaching people the law. I keep finding links between thoughts about redesigning law school to help law students learn & train better — and thoughts about how to develop consumer-facing law products.
Here’s the schedule — you can tune into the livestream to watch in real time, or you can watch videos that will be posted up later.
