A free how-to-succeed playbook for new law school deans and prospective deans, complete with lessons from beyond legal education. Scalia Law and Cardozo Law are co-sponsoring the virtual conference.

The Deans Leadership Academy was created to give new and prospective law school deans a jump-start in acquiring the skills necessary to lead successfully. The early months are the time to set your leadership agenda and assess your team. There are critical decisions to make, and retaining consultants for expert guidance may not always be economically feasible. The interview process for new deans rarely provides real insight into an institution as complex as a law school.

In this program, which is free, you will learn from consultants who will provide expert guidance. We focus on essential lessons that current deans say they wish they had learned from the get-go. It is designed to remove some of the mystery of the “do-it-yourself” approach while highlighting some of the obstacles that come with the territory. The Academy is online and free, but advanced registration is required.
