LawWithoutWalls (LWOW) is an educational model created by Michele DeStefano and Michael Bossone in 2010 and sponsored by The University of Miami School of Law. It is a cooperative partnership among more than 30 leading law and business schools in 15 countries and a mix of lawyers, business professionals, entrepreneurs, and venture capitalists from companies around the world. LawWithoutWalls is a part-virtual collaboratory which is designed to enable students, academics, and professionals to connect over issues facing the legal profession, solve legal problems, and develop the skills students need to compete in a global marketplace.

Methodology

After an exacting vetting process, selected students from participating schools are teamed up with entrepreneur, academic, and practitioner mentors to identify a problem in legal education or practice and develop a business plan that solves that problem. They begin this work in January at a KickOff, an in-person event at one of the participating schools that is designed to enhance team building and self-awareness skills. After the KickOff, from January to April, LawWithoutWalls participants attend weekly Virtual Thought Leader Sessions. A virtual "classroom" wherein experts in law, entrepreneurialism, and business share their multidisciplinary viewpoints on the needed revolutions in legal education and practice and teach professional, business, financial, and entrepreneurial skills. These Virtual Sessions are conducted through Adobe Connect and each participant connects from his/her own computer with a webcam and microphone. Additionally, during this same time period, teams continue to meet virtually to develop their business plans. In April, students test the viability of bringing their ideas to market by presenting their business plans to a multidisciplinary panel of judges including venture capitalists, such as True Ventures and Tennessee Community Ventures Fund.
