Taking the lead in reaching out to law students

On October the 8th, Omar Ha-Redeye moderated the CBA Futures Initiative’s twitter chat.  The chat was focused around articling as a method of professional education, and was attended by students and law professionals from coast to coast.

Omar asked a series of 5 questions, and got a wide range of responses.

#cbafutureschat Q2 put differently; are there ways to take the strengths of real-world work experience and use it in other training methods?
