: Legal Pad | LALaw student conference aims to change some "evil ways"
By Richard Binder
About 50 students from Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Stanford and other premier law schools gathered at Stanford Law School over the weekend as part of Building a Better Legal Profession's National Conference of Student Leaders. The two-day event focused on changing what were often painted as the evil ways of big law firms and included presentations and discussion from well-known practitioners and professors.
The goal of BBLP is to create collective action among students and associates from top schools to prod large law firms to implement what it says are significant changes needed in billable hour requirements, diversity and the commitment to pro bono work. Their hope is that students and associates from the best schools will not accept jobs at firms that do not change their ways.
Building a Better Legal Profession's first student leadership conference comes at a time of massive layoffs of associates at law firms.
