Name: Jennifer Schneider
Title: Assistant Professor, Paralegal Studies
Institution: Community College of Philadelphia
Notable contributions to Affordable Learning: Paralegal studies instructors have few choices when choosing textbooks and other course resources for students. Conventional materials are limited, costly, copyright-protected, and tend to feature voices, authors, and cases reflective of long-standing challenges and biases that have persisted in judicial and educational systems. In addition, most are aimed at law students rather than paralegal studies students. Within this context, Jennifer has demonstrated an ongoing commitment to improving access and engagement in her field by developing OER for several courses. Her OER include The Feedback Bank, the Feedback Finder Chrome extension, and a legal case brief repository, which are used in courses on Paralegal Studies, Legal Technology, Legal Internship, and Intellectual Property Law. She is a PA GOAL Grant recipient.
