Associate Dean Beth Haas moderated a panel recently at the 7th Annual Legal Master’s conference in San Antonio. Her panel, titled “Preparing Legal Masters Students for Success from Day One” discussed how an admitted student can be prepared to successfully navigate the legal master’s program to maximize their learning experience. Haas is a co-author of a forthcoming book “Navigating Your Legal Master’s Program: A Roadmap for Success,” and it is designed to prepare legal master’s students to return to the classroom for their rigorous and engaging academic journey.
Haas is a nationally recognized expert in online legal education. Before joining Miami Law in 2023, she served as Associate Dean, Graduate Studies and Online Education and Associate Professor of Law at Drexel University’s Kline School of Law in Philadelphia.
