WHY LWOW? 5 REASONS.
1.LWOW IS Innovation + Collaboration + Transformation.
It’s NO secret that as you study in law or business school, the legal AND business marketplace is changing with disruptions blasting in an unrelenting pace of new tech, innovations and ideas.
Outside law school, clients and technology are rewriting the script of what they expect from legal professionals. As LWOW Founder Michele DeStefano says, “Clients are calling on lawyers to innovate, cross-collaborate, and partner together to solve unprecedented problems. In today’s competitive and chaotic market, legal expertise and lawyering skills along are not enough.”
2.LWOW IS an experience. There’s nothing like it.
Enter LawWithoutWalls. LWOW is the only learning and development initiative that engages across generations, across diverse cultures, across disciplines to bring the best out of all this diversity to change mindsets, skillsets, and behaviors of legal and business professionals and law and business school students from around the world. And the best of this happens at the in-person LWOW Sprint, an experiential hands-on EXPERIENCE where teams race to develop viable solutions to real challenges, honing their ability to find and refine problems and collaborate along the way.
In 2025, LWOW Sprint will be a 3-day, in-person event 14—16 March! Student Applications open 18 Sept. 2024. Check back for more details.
3.LWOW connects you to an affirming community of 2000+ change makers from all over the world—professionals, academics, students—all passionate about solving problems at the intersection of law, business and technology.
