The article highlights Dean Baer’s appointment as dean and president of CWSL, her scholarship, and the recent partnership with BARBRI for bar exam preparation.

Dean Baer is quoted  saying:

“The world continues to need ethical, competent, creative lawyers,” in not only in the legal system, but all around it: to provide information and advice, for example, or to explain the law to people without law degrees. Also needed are soft skills such as interviewing and counseling.
