Legal Education And The Threat Response, Jane Mitchell
Legal Education And The Threat Response, Jane Mitchell
The Journal of Law Teaching and Learning
Law students struggle with disproportionately high rates of depression, anxiety, addiction, and disconnection. This paper offers a novel explanation for these negative outcomes that thus far has been absent from conversations on the subject: Law schools fuel students’ sense of threat. According to psychology’s well-established cognitive appraisal model, students “appraise” stressful situations as either challenging or threatening. Educational environments appraised as threatening consistently lead to negative outcomes—lower student performance, decreased student engagement, and increased anxiety. Situations appraised as challenging lead to positive outcomes—improved academic performance, increased participation, and better overall health.
Law schools facilitate students’ threat response rather than a …

Law As A Liberal Art, Francis J. Mootz Iii
Law As A Liberal Art, Francis J. Mootz Iii
The Journal of Law Teaching and Learning
Law is a liberal art. Unfortunately, this fact is often forgotten by legal educators, legal practitioners, and citizens. This collective amnesia does not just pose a problem of proper academic categorization. Our inattention to law’s character as a liberal art of law has a profound effect on the full realization of the rule of law in contemporary constitutional democracies. Reclaiming law as a liberal art is critically important, and this effort should be at the center of our approach to legal education.
In this short essay, I begin by providing a brief overview of what I mean by saying that …
An Empirical Study Of The Relationship Between Metacognitive Skills, Performance In A Bar Prep Course And Bar Passage, Jennifer A. Gundlach, Jessica R. Santangelo
An Empirical Study Of The Relationship Between Metacognitive Skills, Performance In A Bar Prep Course And Bar Passage, Jennifer A. Gundlach, Jessica R. Santangelo
The Journal of Law Teaching and Learning
This article builds on our prior research about metacognition and its importance for law students’ learning. We hypothesized that given our past findings about the relationship between metacognition and academic performance during the first year of law school, it was possible that metacognition might also play an important role in success with a third-year bar preparation course and/or on the bar exam.
Our current study documents law students’ metacognitive skills during a final-semester bar prep course and examines the relationship between those students’ metacognitive skills and performance in the course and bar passage. We found that students are capable of …

In Defense Of Mandatory Curves, Joshua M. Silverstein
In Defense Of Mandatory Curves, Joshua M. Silverstein
University of Arkansas at Little Rock Law Review
This article sets forth the first comprehensive defense of mandatory curves. It begins with a case study of one law school. That institution lacked formal grade normalization policies during the period of the case study. As a result, the school suffered from dramatic grade disparities. This article contains a list and statistical analysis of the most significant disparities. The statistical analysis supports the conclusion that the grade disparities were caused by differences in teacher grading philosophy, and not by student merit or any other factor.
Next, this article presents several arguments in favor of mandatory curves. The most crucial is …
Putting It All Together: Law Schools' Role In Improving Appellate Practice, Stella J. Phillips
Putting It All Together: Law Schools' Role In Improving Appellate Practice, Stella J. Phillips
University of Arkansas at Little Rock Law Review
Lawyers make four critical mistakes in current appellate practice. First, many appellants' lawyers do not seem to understand that only some orders may be appealed. Second, appellants often lose their appeals because of the issues about which they argue have not been preserved in the lower court for appellate review. Third, many appellants are unsuccessful because they frame their argument without reference to the appropriate standard of review. Finally, the pressure of client’s expectations and filing deadlines often leads lawyers to become careless when preparing their briefs.
Appellants must know and adhere to court rules about the content, composition, and …
It Takes A Village To Solve The Problems In Legal Education: Every Faculty Member's Role In Academic Support, Melissa J. Marlow
It Takes A Village To Solve The Problems In Legal Education: Every Faculty Member's Role In Academic Support, Melissa J. Marlow
University of Arkansas at Little Rock Law Review
This article suggests a fundamental shift in the way traditional faculty view their role in academic support, from merely assisting with academic support duties to becoming equally responsible with academic support faculty for student achievement. The article explores how legal education arrived at the current division of labor in teaching weaker students. Additionally, it examines why the current situation is not the best plan of action for maximizing student learning. Finally, it touches upon possible solutions that would work toward uniting law school faculty in their common purpose of preparing all students for the rigors of legal practice.
Some factors …
