Vision 2025 a look at the future by student visionaries
Description
The mentor, Dean Yvonne Cherena-Pacheco, introduces law students Antonio Fernandez, Yolanda Jarmon, and Adrian Jonrowe. Each student shares his or her perspective on the future. The focus is on projected developments in U.S. law. In Yolanda Jarmon's presentation, "You Make the Difference", focus is given to the current trend of using penal laws to punish rather than reform, and to the struggle of law enforcement to keep up with technology. In Adrian Jonrowe's presentation, "The Law in 2025: Trials on the Moon?", future trends to make the law more predictable to cope with increased litigation, mandatory computerized litigation in civil complaints, and increased use of mediation are hypothesized, Also discussed is the continuing conflict between the aspiration to serve and the incentive to profit. In Antonio Fernandez's presentation, "Minorities in the Law", the future of legal practice in the wake of the Hopwood decision is discussed.
