Learning Through Work: An Empirical Study Of Legal Internship, Daniel J. Givelber, Brook K. Baker, John Mcdevitt, Robyn Miliano
Jack McDevitt
The authors present the results of an extended empirical investigation of law students' beliefs about how well they learn in work settings and which factors distinguish between settings where they learn well and those where they do not. The results resonate with a theory of ecological learning which they present in summary form. Through their data, based upon responses to more than 500 work experiences, they attempt to explore the validity of many of the current criticisms of workplace learning. Their analysis and findings cast doubt on the belief, reified by the MacCrate Report, that legal educators must participate actively …

Navigating The Uncharted Waters Of Teaching Law With Online Simulations, Ira Steven Nathenson

The Internet is more than a place where the Millennial Generation communicates, plays, and shops. It is also a medium that raises issues central to nearly every existing field of legal doctrine, whether basic (such as Torts, Property, or Contracts) or advanced (such as Intellectual Property, Criminal Procedure, or Securities Regulation). This creates tremendous opportunities for legal educators interested in using the live Internet for experiential education. This Article examines how live websites can be used to create engaging and holistic simulations that tie together doctrine, theory, skills, and values in ways impossible to achieve with the case method.
