Maisel于2014年7月加入波士顿大学法学院,担任临床与体验项目的首任副院长。 在她任职期间,她监督了体验式学习项目的扩展,包括四家新诊所——其中两家与麻省理工学院合作——以及四家新的实习诊所。 她培养的战略伙伴关系,无论是与外部合作伙伴还是在社会工作学院的波士顿大学社区内,都加强了诊所的工作,并为波士顿大学法学院的学生提供了补充和丰富传统理论课程的体验机会。
Her initiatives targeted toward small-and-medium-sized law firms and legal offices in for-profit and nonprofit organizations have enhanced the school’s 校外实习期, and she led the faculty committee that developed the 律师项目, an innovative approach to teach critical skills in research, writing, client counseling, and oral advocacy to first-year students through simulations of real-world legal disputes. Maisel also led the law school’s initiatives to establish JD outcomes and assessment, including hosting a national conference and developing the first curriculum map.
This fall, Maisel will join the 民事诉讼与司法项目 and continue teaching a course on legal ethics and professional responsibility for students completing 校外实习期. She is also developing a course that will prepare students taking international placements in the Semester-in-Practice program. “波士顿大学法学院对临床和体验项目做出了真正的承诺,”她说。 “这是一个绝佳的机会,可以帮助我们制定创新举措,为学生提供高质量的培训。”
