Abstract
The idea for this journal originally came from Tracy McGaugh of Touro Law Center, and then was hatched over steaming plates of egg foo yung at Ming’s Dynasty Chinese Restaurant in Denver, Colorado on October 4, 2013. The dinner took place that night because it was the “on your own” night of the second annual three-day Educating Tomorrow’s Lawyers (ETL) Conference, hosted by the Institute for the Advancement of the American Legal System (IAALS) at the Uni- versity of Denver. I had been associated with ETL and IAALS for several years prior, and I served on the conference committee. I asked to see the attendee list a week or so before the conference, and noticed that a number of attendees had the relatively new title of Associate Dean or Director of Experiential Learning, I thought I should host that group for dinner since I had recently received a sim- ilar assignment at my own law school. Joining me that night was Myra Berman (Touro), Josie Gough (Loyola-Chicago), Lisa Radtke Bliss (Georgia State), Christine Cerniglia Brown (Loyola-New Orleans), and Jean Whitney (UNLV). So here I get to admit that I really had a selfish purpose. I wanted to learn from these great colleagues - so I might know more about what I had gotten myself into, and to learn from their experience, successes, and failures. I selected the restau- rant because it was near the conference and one of my favorites, and I figured, who doesn’t like Chinese food?
