Pop-Up Tech Talks

Talks Paused for 2020-21

Why Pop-Up Tech Talks?

Students have questions about updated technology skills they need in law school and in their future work. But it's hard to find time for lunch-and-learn sessions with so many other important activities taking place during the lunch hour.

Save Time, Learn Tech

A team of faculty and staff are now offering 1-minute-or-less tech demos.

We're popping up throughout the law school building online during covid-19, throughout the semester, to show you how to

• backup, encrypt, and redact your files,
• advance your research and writing skills with technologies not covered in LRAW,
• use technology to find paid jobs and pro bono opportunities,
• and more...

Depending on how much time you have, you can

• watch the demo,
• ask questions, or
• just grab a handout.
