Courtroom Insight’s (“CI”) Directory is a powerful tool that law schools can utilize across various departments to enhance student outcomes and institutional success. Here’s how CI can benefit 3 key law school functions:
- Alumni Relations: CI enables law schools to effectively track and engage alumni for a variety of business development opportunities. With access to a robust database, schools can search for alumni using filters like graduation year, practice area, firm, and location. This information is invaluable for organizing fundraising initiatives, planning events, and fostering networking opportunities. CI’s directory, which includes over 514,000 expert witnesses, 500,000 lawyers, 97,000 judges, and 48,000 neutrals, provides a comprehensive view of legal professionals, making it easier to identify and maintain strong alumni connections.
- Career Services: CI is an essential resource for preparing law students for successful interviews. By using CI, students can conduct thorough research on legal organizations and hiring attorneys before their interviews. For instance, those pursuing judicial clerkships can review a judge’s background, case history, and key analytics. Similarly, students preparing for summer associate positions can investigate law firms’ prior hires and practice areas. This in-depth preparation gives students a competitive edge, ensuring they enter interviews with valuable insights.
- Education: CI is a critical tool for educating law students on effective legal research, preparing them for the professional world. By integrating CI into the curriculum, law schools can train students to leverage this single source of truth for information on legal professionals, increasing their research efficiency compared to using multiple platforms. Additionally, proficiency in CI, a tool widely used by AmLaw 200 firms and insurance companies, will significantly enhance students’ career readiness and efficiency, positioning them for success in the competitive legal industry.
Incorporating Courtroom Insight into law school operations not only supports students in their academic and career pursuits but also strengthens alumni relations and enriches the educational experience.
