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 AccessLex Institute’s research director Tiffane Cochran about the organization’s new Legal Education Data Deck, and what it tells us about law school affordability and student diversity.

Next up is a look at how law schools should respond to the wave of attorneys seeking to delegitimize the results of the presidential election both in courtrooms and in the court of public opinion. Read on and stay safe!
