The pandemic experience has taught us that law schools can be highly successful in using remote instruction to add flexibility to evening and part-time law programs, providing working students from a range of backgrounds with enhanced educational access and other benefits, while maintaining high educational standards and quality. However, as pandemic conditions abate, emergency waivers suspending restrictions on distance education for New York's law schools will expire when the school year ends, threatening to end much of the flexibility and innovation realized over the past two years. The New York Court of Appeals must act now to ease New York's restrictive rules on distance learning tied to bar eligibility to ensure the rules keep pace with a changing world.
