Can You Change How Lawyers Think and Work? Inside LawWithoutWalls’ International Initiative

“[Center on the Legal Profession Fellow] Michele DeStefano is trying to fundamentally change the way lawyers think and work, and she’s tackling the challenge globally.” Law.com covered her initiative, LawWithoutWalls, which “from Australia, Iceland, South Africa, the United States, the United Kingdom and beyond, [aims to enable] law students, business leaders and law firm partners to collaborate and develop new skill sets and perspectives by working together to solve real-life problems.”

“The goal is to teach both practicing lawyers and aspiring lawyers how to hone the DNA of an innovator, because that’s really how legal professionals learn how to proactively collaborate in the way that clients really want them to,” DeStefano says.
