Computer-Supported Peer Review In A Law School Context, Kevin D. Ashley, Ilya Goldin
Computer-Supported Peer Review In A Law School Context, Kevin D. Ashley, Ilya Goldin
Articles
Legal instructors have been urged to incorporate peer reviewing into law school courses as a way to provide students much needed feedback. Peer review can benefit legal education, but only if law school instructors adopt peer review on a large scale, and for that, computer-supported peer review systems are crucial. These web-based systems orchestrate the mechanics of students submitting written assignments on-line and distributing them to other students for anonymous review, making it considerably easier for instructors to manage.
Beyond the problem of orchestrating mechanics, however, a deeper obstacle to widespread acceptance of peer review in legal education is the …
Writing To Learn Law And Writing In Law: An Intellectual Property Illustration, Michael J. Madison
Writing To Learn Law And Writing In Law: An Intellectual Property Illustration, Michael J. Madison

We are consciously and unconsciously conditioned and controlled by the words we hear and use. Words carry ideology and convey and create meaning. Like Chinese characters, words are 'ideographs that 'signify' and 'contain' a unique ideological commitment', that is frequently unquestioned.

Writing And Reading In Philosophy, Law, And Poetry, James Boyd White
Writing And Reading In Philosophy, Law, And Poetry, James Boyd White
Book Chapters
In this paper I will treat a very general question, the nature of writing and what can be achieved by it, pursuing it in the three distinct contexts provided by philosophy, law, and poetry.
My starting-point will be Plato's Phaedrus, where, in a wellknown passage, Socrates attacks writing itself: he says that true philosophy requires the living engagement of mind with mind of a kind that writing cannot attain. Yet this is obviously a paradox, for Socrates' position is articulated and recorded by Plato in writing. How then can we make sense of what Plato is saying and doing? What …
