Brad Butwin ’85, Chair of O’Melveny & Myers LLP, met with Fordham Law faculty on March 30 for an in-depth discussion about the changing legal marketplace and the role of the law school in preparing students for the challenges that lie ahead. The event was part of the “Theory Meets Practice: From the Classroom to the Changing Marketplace” speaker series.
“Fordham Law professors are keenly interested in how changes in the profession affect classroom instruction,” said Professor Joseph Landau, Chair of the faculty’s Career Planning Committee, which helped organize the event in partnership with the School’s Career Planning Center and Public Interest Resource Center. “The discussion with Mr. Butwin was enormously useful in helping professors think about how we prepare our students to become both legal professionals and thought leaders.”
“It is critical for Fordham Law professors to connect with employers in order to assist our students and graduates with career planning,” said Suzanne Endrizzi, Assistant Dean of the Career Planning Center. “We are so pleased that the faculty, the Career Planning Committee, and the CPC were able to collaborate to bring this important series to fruition.”
