How to Talk D.I.R.T.I. and Influence Your Dean
(Original Session Date: 6/23/01)


Session Description
Details Involving Really Technical Information How do we engage our faculty and administrations when discussing the future of Information Technology in law schools? Do we ask for more and bigger budgets to continue to augment the technology we already have? Do we ask for larger technical staffs to support this ever-increasing installed base? This session was first presented to a group of independent law school CFOs. The goal was to promote discussion of future IT planning in legal education.

There are certain signposts that we can use that help point us to the future: past spending patterns, user trends, technology adoption models, cutting edge technologies in other law schools and in higher education, looking at past surveys to find successful predictive algorithms, and baseline analysis of technology needs. We will talk about these different approaches and some of the lessons learned at our school. Audience participation will be most definitely encouraged. This is a work in progress, as we try to avoid stumbling our way into the future, in part by a retrospective assessment of predictions from the past.
