This presentation will be interactive and will include polls, chats, and technology demonstrations. As education moves online, students' ability to direct their own learning is more important than over.
An examination of undergraduate programs reveal that attrition rates can be twice as high in online courses than those in a traditional classroom format. Lack of ability to self-regulate is a significant reason for dropout rates. This is due in part to students not recognizing the high level of motivation, organization and focus required to succeed in online courses. Similarly, many law students profess difficulties with extended focus and concentration. As educators, we need to do more than talk about the importance of focus.
We need to explain, demonstrate, and create action plans. In my presentation, participants will:.

When a legal writing professor teaches online, creating a classroom community and sense of purpose may be more difficult than in person.
People in the same room connect naturally; online, however, the professor must deliberately create conditions for those connections to ignite. This interactive presentation will address the need to be intentional as a teacher about creating connection when teaching online. We will highlight strategies and techniques that professors can use to foster connection and build support in the virtual legal writing classroom. Topics will include creating a sense of inclusion and belonging from day one, fostering professor-student and student-student connections, designing group projects in the online classroom, using recognition and reward to incentivize and inspire, and appropriately communicating care for student well-being.
With deliberate, thoughtful techniques, legal writing professors can create the same community and connection in the online classroom that they create in person. This presentation will demonstrate connection techniques, so please be ready to participate! Due to the worldwide pandemic, most moot court and other advocacy competitions unfortunately had to be canceled this spring.
A few competitions moved forward in an online format, however, and many more are likely to do so this coming academic year. The practice of law has necessarily become—and will continue to be—increasingly virtual, and law schools, professors, and coaches need to prepare students to practice in a virtual environment.
This session will identify lessons learned from our experiences hosting first-year oral argument and moot court competitions online this spring, provide suggestions for organizing and hosting virtual moot court competitions, and discuss the future of moot court and other advocacy competitions.

Because of the current pandemic, in the fall, many LRW faculty will meet their students for the first time on an online platform. In preparation for this, you might be feeling overwhelmed by all of the online teaching tools out there.
These tools can help prepare and get your online-teaching plan together, help keep students engaged, interested, and excited to learn, create a classroom culture and build student professional identity in an online format, and help you as the professor share the information in an easy to use and clear manner. The Vanderbilt Law Library recently revamped its 1L legal research curriculum.
In order to ensure that the revamp was effective, the librarians utilized backward design, which requires that instructors formulate a set of teaching objectives prior to creating course materials. When the University transitioned to remote teaching as a result of COVID, the prior preparation as a group made the transition much easier because the teaching librarians were able to utilize the core concepts that were agreed to by all while still customizing their instruction to fit the needs of their individual sections and teaching styles.

Heavy metal with hammered surfaces made from solid copper and with a patinated finish. Craftsman Hardware Company , Marceline, Mo. Throughout the s, both Chippendale and Federal styles experienced revivals, and as the West was settled, much of the furniture and hardware produced was utilitarian in nature. The next new period, however, was the Victorian era. This was the first era of mass-produced hardware, as thousands of these pieces were stamped, fitted to production-line furniture and shipped everywhere.
A downside of mass production, of course, is the too-common drop in quality — a lot of junk got made at this time — but some pieces were quite spectacular. The Eastlake style in particular held up very well. Out went the pretty floral patterns and mass-produced pieces.
Designers such as Gustav Stickley, Charles and Henry Greene and William Morris created new, original designs that shared little save joinery with the past. Patterns were typically made from heavy brass, copper and bronze, then hammered and patinated to a very dark finish. At the time, the idea was to let the work show but, ironically, this may be the first time period where the brasses were patinated to artificially create a new look. So how does this all relate to you, the furniture maker?
Knowing what came before can help guide your choices. This applies to joinery, finish and, of course, hardware. You can adhere to or break from tradition — either path can lead to success, but your work will always be better if you first learn your history.
