Dr. Leigh-Davis is Now a Proponent of Online Education

New York, NY, May 23, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Having recently returned from a lecture series in London, England, Dr. Leigh-Davis was exploring all types of teaching opportunities. Although regularly giving general lectures, Dr. Leigh-Davis’ forte is as a graduate school professor with her areas of expertise being anthropology and law. Among other things, she favors lecturing on tort law, contract law, and legal ethics. “I was trying to find a permanent position in London, or a nearby university town, like Buckinghamshire; when I started receiving many more offers to teach online courses,” Dr. Leigh-Davis explained.

Currently, Dr. Leigh-Davis is working with Gaggle & Prezi to develop a legal ethics course that will satisfy basic law school education requirements, as well as, prepare one to pass the MPRE test (Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam,) required of all prospective U.S. attorneys.

US News reported, “During fall 2009, online education saw an increase of nearly a million students taking at least one online course.” These statistics prove, what was originally thought of as a trend, has become the new education model. Dr. Leigh-Davis commented, “In the past, I was offered online teaching jobs, which I declined. However now, the technology is more advanced, and the course study is more organized and effective, with a lot more teacher-student interaction.”

Online education platforms are usually produced by private companies, like Blackboard. However, MIT has announced it is developing its own platform, and other universities are likely to follow suit. “I am looking forward to teaching more online courses in the future,” Dr. Leigh-Davis concluded.

Dr. Leigh-Davis is a law professor who specializes in teaching the subjects of business, tort law, contract law, and legal ethics. In addition to being a law professor, Dr. Leigh-Davis is a retired attorney, anthropologist, and popular TV & media personality, who regularly appears as a legal analyst and legal correspondent on NBC news, CNN and Fox news. She is also the former host of the Court TV television show, “The Court is in Session.” More information about Dr. Leigh-Davis’ television, writing and radio projects, can be found on Dr. Leigh-Davis’ official website.
