Northwestern California University School of Law - My Journey

[gicts]

I appreciate the hands off approach, but also find them very responsive when I've asked for anything. Even through unofficial channels like the Slack, faculty has responded.

I agree they are responsive in some instances and will pick up the phone, but trying to float questions such as how does working remotely apply to 'licensed to practice in California' will be met with silence or being referred elsewhere.

I was also disappointed in the lack of notifications. A simple email drip campaign would be free to implement and keep students engaged. A monthly email that summarizes the syllabus and due dates would take less than a day to implement and could drastically increase retention. No one reminded me of my finals window and I nearly missed that opportunity. 

Professor Mike is a great example of who could benefit from NWCA. A seasoned 'big wig' looking for another notch on his belt who can be a great asset to the business to issue spot and work with a legal dept. Another avenue would be those looking to start their own firm.

Ray Hayden survived NWCA and the Baby Bar. His approach, notes(example), and audio have been invaluable.
