Welcome back to Ahead of the Curve. I’m Karen Sloan, legal education editor at Law.com, and I’ll be your host for this weekly look at innovation and notable developments in legal education.

This week, I’m chatting with Hamilton Chan, who founded Loyola Law School, Los Angeles’ new executive education program LLX, about what makes it different from other law school initiatives to teach non-lawyers. Next up is a look at Washburn University School of Law’s Third Year Anywhere program, which promises to let 3Ls gain experience and build their professional networks outside of the Topeka, Kansas, campus.
