STILL:Law Schools Produce More Lawyers
than the Market Can Absorb
![Page 22: De stefano, Global Lawyers + Global Law Schools: Entering the Innovation Tournament](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022507/5a6e5a977f8b9a22298b58df/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

2. Collisions, Connectivity, Collaboration
3. Open (Weak Ties but No Hierarchy btwn Monkey + Man)
4. Diverse in Diverse Ways (even lazy or stupid)
5. Third Places – creating the space/place
6. Frame of Mind + Method by Do– Serendipity but not just Lucky Accidents
– Embrace elements of “design thinking” (Participate, Do, Iterate, Experiment) but beware of process tricks and under-think”
– Creativity breeds creativity
7. CULTURE/COMMUNITY
