Mike Spivey was recently interviewed by Dean Patty Roberts for the EdUp Experience podcast — you can find that episode here. In the podcast, Mike and Dean Roberts talk about last year's admission cycle and how unprecedented it was from a historical perspective, predictions for the upcoming admissions cycle, things law schools could do better, the impact the U.S. News & World Report rankings have on both law school decision-making and behavior, the challenges of imposter syndrome for law school students, and two upcoming books that Mike will have published next year — one on law school admissions. We hope this interview is helpful for applicants, students, and law school administrators thinking about changes to come in legal education down the road and this coming admission cycle.

Enjoy!
