So Many Webinars!
Since law schools and universities moved online in response to the COVID-19 crisis, the number of videos and webinars about pedagogy and other topics of interest to law schools has exploded. Sometimes you get a chance to watch a webinar live. When you can't, you might make a note to watch the archived version. But it's hard to keep track of them!
We're using this guide to provide links to selected online videos. If you would like to recommend others, please let us know (lawref@uw.edu).
