Professor Nachman Gutowski Publishes Article and Is Set to Speak at Multiple Events

Nachman N. Gutowski, Director of Academic Success Program, Assistant Professor-in-Residence recently published an article in the Seattle Journal for Social Justice. STOP THE COUNT; The Historically Discriminatory Nature of the Bar Exam Requires Adjustments in How Bar Passage Rates are Reported offers a critical examination of the bar exam and its reporting practices, highlighting the need for adjustment to address the historically discriminatory nature of the exam and its impact on marginalized groups. He also recently published a research summary on how bar exam results are reported called How Are Bar Exam Results Reported?: Raising the Bar.

Professor Gutowski will be one of the Keynote Speakers for the symposium at the University of New Hampshire Franklin Pierce School of Law in January 2024. This event will focus on risk-taking and reform in legal education. The basis for Professor Gutowski’s talk will be his forthcoming article entitled NextGen Licensure and Accreditation , which the University of New Hampshire Law Review is publishing in the Spring. This piece will examine the coming changes to the bar exam, particularly with the NextGen Bar Exam replacing the Uniform Bar Exam.

He will also present at the Association of Academic Support Educators’ Diversity Conference next month in Washington D.C. Professor Gutowski’s topic is “Leveraging Partnerships to Maximize Student Support.” Lastly, in November, he will speak at  AccessLex, LexCon in Chicago on “Measuring Success: Evolving Approaches to Data Collection and Reporting” and moderate a session on ChatGPT in the Classroom. The GPT session will support his current research into generative AI policies in law schools nationally for future scholarship agendas.
