knowledge and expertise beyond the classroom to spark scholarly debate
and advance the practice of law. Their latest endeavors include the
following.

Professor Natt Gantt was interviewed in The Virginian-Pilot's article regarding Portsmouth Councilman Bill Moody. View the article here. Professor Gantt also got some great responses from a recent presentation titled "Leadership Development for Law Students" at the Fourth Annual Educating Tomorrow's Lawyers (ETL) Conference in Denver, Colorado. Professor Gantt's presentation focused on defining leadership, explaining the need for leadership education in law schools, and identifying specific initiatives Regent Law has implemented to promote leadership development among its students. "Many leaders in this country are lawyers," said Professor Gantt. "Yet law schools have traditionally focused very little on how they can prepare students for these leadership roles. As law schools devote more instruction on the skills that are important for professional success, we as legal educators need to do more to help our students understand the skills and attributes of effective leaders."

Associate Dean Ben Madison authored a blog post on formative assessments for Best Practices for Legal Education. His worked received collegial praise in this comment posted below the blog: “Professor Madison has a great idea here. Students get feedback by engaging in a low burden, practical exercise that also teaches them things they need to know for their final exams, yet the professor’s burden is relatively small. I do feel compelled to add that this approach to formative feedback is one of Professor Madison’s many great ideas for improving legal education.”

Regent Law has improved its position in the SSRN rankings, moving from #128 to #124, up nearly 1,000 downloads in one month – and just 2,000 downloads out of the top 100. This increase was largely due to increased traffic to Professor James Duane’s page in downloads for his work at The Extraordinary Trajectory of Griffin v. California: The Aftermath of Playing Fifty Years of Scrabble with the Fifth Amendment, and at The Right to Remain Silent: A New Answer to an Old Question.
