Respect For Diversity: The Case Of Feminist Legal Thought, Carl W. Tobias
Respect For Diversity: The Case Of Feminist Legal Thought, Carl W. Tobias
Law Faculty Publications
Respect for diversity was one quality many faculty members considered significant when searching in 1987 for a new dean of the University of Michigan School of Law. Yet other so-called elite law schools and less prestigious institutions recently have evinced little concern for diversity and even indifference toward the idea. Tenure and appointment disputes at several Ivy League schools have sparked heated controversy and call into question their institutional commitments to diversity. Those disputes have involved the legitimacy of work by women in legal theory and feminist legal thought, although considerable contentious activity also seems to reflect a general lack …

In Praise Of Student-Edited Law Reviews: A Reply To Professor Dekanal, John Paul Jones

Prof. Jones responds to a previous writer's arguments that the student-edited law review be replaced by journals edited by law faculty members. He argues that there are not enough willing faculty editors and staff members to sustain the present number and production rate of law journals.

These materials cover extensions of credit secured by a lien on personal property, sales of goods, commercial paper, credit cards, electronic funds transfer systems, and letters of credit.

Gender Issues And The Prosser, Wade, And Schwartz Torts Casebook, Carl W. Tobias
Gender Issues And The Prosser, Wade, And Schwartz Torts Casebook, Carl W. Tobias
Law Faculty Publications
Feminist jurisprudence is burgeoning. During the 1980s, there has been much excellent work in areas such as legal theory and practice, women's legal history, and specific substantive fields of law. Some law faculty also have analyzed gender bias in legal casebooks. Moreover, the eighth edition of William Prosser's renowned Cases and Materials on Torts, the most widely used torts casebook in American law schools, is scheduled for classroom use in the autumn of 1988. All of these developments make this a promising time to consider gender issues and Prosser, Wade, and Schwartz. This paper is meant to begin that discussion …

The History Of Legal Education In Virginia, William Hamilton Bryson
The History Of Legal Education In Virginia, William Hamilton Bryson
Law Faculty Publications
Many methods of legal education have been used over the years. Each has its strengths and its weaknesses. The study of the past is instructive and useful in showing both the good and bad goals and methods. We must cultivate the good and uproot the bad. This study suggests that there has always been progress, slow but constant improvement. The teaching of law is vital to the administration of justice, a noble cause. The continuing challenge is ever to strive for the improvement thereof.
Clinical Education-A Golden Dancer?, W. Wade Berryhill
Clinical Education-A Golden Dancer?, W. Wade Berryhill
Law Faculty Publications
Clinical education is acclaimed by its advocates to be the salvation of the wayward and sick soul of the legal profession. Others, the staunch defenders of the more traditional academic methods, believing it to be nothing more than spit and sealing wax, shake their heads and murmur "is nothing sacred?" The purpose of this paper is to take a good "look behind the paint" of clinical education.

Clinical Education-A Golden Dancer?, W. Wade Beryyhill
University of Richmond Law Review
Before any revealing analysis of clinical education can take place, it is necessary, as well as helpful, to look briefly at the history and criticisms of legal education which spawned the emphasis in clinical programs. These efforts will be followed by an analysis of the recent clinical movement. The most predominant American law school programs generally termed "clinical" experience will be identified, described and critiqued. Section four of this article discusses the results of the author's survey QUESTIONNAIRE: Classroom Teaching Techniques and Programsof ClinicalEducation.Deans, or clinical faculty members if the law school had an ongoing clinical program, plus certain law …
Legal Education In Perspective, Lewis F. Powell Jr.
Legal Education In Perspective, Lewis F. Powell Jr.
University of Richmond Law Review
Perhaps the role of any law school can best be viewed in relation to law schools and legal education in general. Despite the discreditable conduct of a few lawyers, our profession has never before been as attractive to bright young people. We are all generally aware of the "explosion" in law school applications. There are 151 American Bar Association approved schools with a total enrollment for the 1973 term of 106,100. This is nearly double the enrollment of ten years ago.' Both total enrollment and first year enrollment have increased in each of the past ten years, except for a …
The Problem Method Adapted To Case Books, William Hamilton Bryson
The Problem Method Adapted To Case Books, William Hamilton Bryson
Law Faculty Publications
Although it is obvious that the teaching style of every successful academic must be the product of his own personality and experience, I do, nevertheless, believe that the exchange of ideas on the subject of legal education is constructive. It may suggest ways to make minor changes and thereby to improve one's own methods or approaches. Therefore, I present here some thoughts on the Socratic method of teaching law and the results of my own experimentation with cases as problems for classroom debate. This approach has been successful for me, and it is my hope that these ideas may be …
Student Practice-Limited Appearances In Court By Third Year Law Students
Student Practice-Limited Appearances In Court By Third Year Law Students
University of Richmond Law Review
The practice of law as it is known to our legal system has been a closely guarded institution since its development in England during the Middle Ages. In the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries the legal profession became organized and obtained the monopoly of legal work it still enjoys today. Even before the end of the thirteenth century, it was generally recognized that although a litigant could personally appear and argue in his own behalf, the party represented by a lawyer, who was an expert in the law and its language, would have a decided advantage over his opponent.
