“We are delighted to work hand in hand with the University of Calgary Faculty of Law as our academic partner that is aligned with our strategic priorities,” says Andrew Bowyer, CEO of ADB Insights and the founder of the Legal Innovation Forum. “The legal sector is embracing fresh and innovative approaches to mitigate risk and seek opportunities for business growth. At the core is legal education - a key catalyst for change in the ecosystem.”
With a focus on experiential and hands-on learning that allows students to translate knowledge into action, UCalgary Law’s ground-breaking Calgary Curriculum gives students the competence they need to understand the concepts, methods, analysis, reasoning and critical perspectives to excel in the ever-evolving legal marketplace. UCalgary Law’s researchers are integral in exposing students to innovative course work, preparing them for the constantly changing legal landscape.
“A partnership with the Legal Innovation Forum just makes sense,” says Dr. Ian Holloway, dean of UCalgary Law. “Our goal is to train students for the legal profession they will be joining - not the one my generation joined - and this partnership will allow us to continue to build a pipeline of innovators who will add value to the legal sector for years to come.”
