Professor Titichia Mitchell Jackson presents at the Association of Korean Law Schools Symposium

CARLISLE, PA—Professor Titichia Mitchell Jackson, assistant professor of law and director of academic success and bar passage at Penn State Dickinson Law, presented at the Association of Korean Law Schools Symposium in Seoul, South Korea, in June 2026. The symposium brought together legal educators, practitioners, and policymakers to examine the future of legal education, bar licensure, and access to the legal profession.

Jackson's presentation, “The Evolving Landscape of JD Careers and Academic Success,” explored how law schools can better prepare students for a changing profession by fostering resilience, adaptability, and professional identity development. Drawing upon her scholarship on growth mindset and academic success, she examined how legal educators can create learning environments that encourage persistence, continuous growth, and broader conceptions of professional success.

The presentation was also connected to Jackson's broader research agenda on legal education reform, competency-based learning, and practice readiness. Discussions with international scholars and legal educators provided valuable comparative perspectives on assessment, equity, access, and preparation for legal practice, further informing her ongoing scholarship.

The symposium featured a keynote address by Dean Danielle M. Conway, dean of Penn State Dickinson Law and president of the Association of American Law Schools, on the value of legal education and the role of law schools in preparing future lawyers. Jackson's participation enhanced Penn State Dickinson Law's visibility in international conversations about legal education innovation and highlighted the school's commitment to advancing student success and professional formation.
