Cooperation And Turnover In Law Faculties: A Game-Theoretic Model And An Empirical Study, Shi-Ling Hsu
Cooperation And Turnover In Law Faculties: A Game-Theoretic Model And An Empirical Study, Shi-Ling Hsu
Scholarly Publications
A standard account of group cooperation would predict that group stability would bring about greater cooperation because repeat-play games would allow for sanctions and rewards. In an academic unit such as a department or a law faculty, one might thus expect that faculty stability would bring about greater cooperation. However, academic units are not like most other groups. Tenured professors face only limited sanctions for failing to cooperate, for engaging in unproductive conflict, or for shirking. This article argues counter-intuitively that within limits, some level of faculty turnover may enhance cooperation. Certainly, excessive and persistent loss of faculty is demoralizing, …

The Inseparability Of Professionalism And Personal Satisfaction: Perspectives On Values, Integrity And Happiness, Lawrence S. Krieger
The Inseparability Of Professionalism And Personal Satisfaction: Perspectives On Values, Integrity And Happiness, Lawrence S. Krieger
Scholarly Publications
This article suggests a more effective approach to professionalism training based on a modern understanding of human nature. It explains (1) the many empirically established connections between life satisfaction and the values and motivations that would promote professional behavior among lawyers, and (2) the role of character integrity in maintaining physical and emotional wellness. It then describes an approach to teaching this material in the classroom or clinical setting, in order to foster both professionalism and career satisfaction among law students.
Institutional Denial About The Dark Side Of Law School, And Fresh Empirical Guidance For Constructively Breaking The Silence, Lawrence S. Krieger
Institutional Denial About The Dark Side Of Law School, And Fresh Empirical Guidance For Constructively Breaking The Silence, Lawrence S. Krieger
Scholarly Publications
In the day-to-day business of legal education there is remarkably little evidence that we are aware of the unhealthy-unhappy-law-student(lawyer) problem.' The core of this article is a description of recent psychological research on the components of happiness and life satisfaction. This research provides an objective framework for understanding the pervasive problems in legal settings and thus can lead to constructive discussion and intervention. I first review empirical and anecdotal evidence of the dark side of law school, the process of denial among faculty, and failing paradigms at the heart of legal education. I then discuss the helpful recent research, and …

Liberating Lawyers: Diverging Parallels In Intruder In The Dust And To Kill A Mockingbird, Rob Atkinson
Liberating Lawyers: Diverging Parallels In Intruder In The Dust And To Kill A Mockingbird, Rob Atkinson
Scholarly Publications
Professor Atkinson hopes William Faulkner’s Intruder in the Dust will replace Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird as our favorite story of lawyerly virtue. In both stories, a white male lawyer and his protégé try to free a black man falsely accused of a capital crime. But below these superficial similarities, Professor Atkinson finds fundamental differences. To Kill a Mockingbird, with its father-knows-best attorney, Atticus Finch, celebrates lawyerly paternalism; Intruder in the Dust, through its aristocratic black hero, Lucas Beauchamp, and his lay allies, challenges the rule of lawyers, if not law itself. The first urges us to …
