when I think about what's Innovative about our JD curriculum it starts with the fact that we have a faculty that is constantly and I mean weekly and monthly and semester by semester asking the question whether we need to evolve our curriculum change our curriculum move our curriculum in new ways in order to meet the needs of JD students today rather than simply saying we've done this in the past and therefore we're going to keep doing it when we try to look to see where is the practice going where is legal education going in the future
and we try to be on the Forefront of adapting to those perspective changes and making sure our students are set up in a way to be successful in that Dynamic environment as a faculty we care very much about our students and about ensuring that they are prepared uh to be legal professionals when the light goes off when it clicks and they're part of a discussion as opposed to listening to the discussion the distinguishing there I know the 10 years from now they're going to be okay they're going to be the thought leader Texas A&M creates
leaders not about teaching what the laws today it's teaching about how to think outside the box for tomorrow once upon a time we were teaching students the law and sending them out into the world then from there we added to that some of the skills of being an effective lawyer now in some sense we're giving the skills of navigating technology and information and the Very nature of know knowledge and multiple disciplines they need to understand some psychology and some economics and some finance and even some sociology and the like the because all of those things
will be increasingly important to not the okay lawyer but to the excellent and the great lawyers and those are the folks that we want to graduate [Music]
