Professionals in the legal industry depend on a number of technologies to make the best use of their time. However, law school curriculum is often rooted in the theory and history of the practice rather than training in the most commonly used tools. This disconnect has left many law school graduates with gaps in knowledge when they get out into the real world and a steeper learning curve when adapting to the many software platforms now ubiquitous in the space.
To combat this issue, legal service provider UnitedLex began offering a legal residency program earlier this year, and on Nov. 5, the company announced that the University of Southern California (USC) Gould School of Law will join its program. Already offered at Emory University School of Law, the University of Miami School of Law, the Ohio State University Moritz College of Law and Vanderbilt Law School, the two year legal residency program provides practical training to recent law school graduates on the technological platforms and challenges they are likely to face in their careers.
