Bloomberg Law's Law School Innovation Program Honors 10 Finalists

ARLINGTON, Va., Feb. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Bloomberg Law today announced that it has named 10 finalists in its Law School Innovation Program, now in its third year. The program aims to identify, recognize, and connect the law schools that are pioneering educational innovations that benefit their students, their schools, and the legal field.

The focus of the 2024-2025 Law School Innovation Program is career resilience. Bloomberg Law asked law schools what they are doing to help students prevent burnout and build resilience for a fulfilling long-term legal career. Program evaluators reviewed innovations that address and eradicate at least one root cause of career burnout, either by better preparing students on their career path or by fostering change in the legal community. Innovations submitted for consideration were grouped into three categories: career pathing, technology, and well-being initiatives.

The 2024-2025 Law School Innovation finalists were recognized based on the criteria of innovation, impact on students, ability to advance the legal industry, and replicability.

The latest Law School Innovation Program finalists are:

• University of St. Thomas, School of Law - Mentor Externship
• University of Oklahoma College of Law - Center Technology and Innovation in Practice
• Albany Law School - Flex Juris Doctor
