The Learning Contract In Legal Education, Jane H. Aiken, David A. Koplow, Lisa G. Lerman, J.P. "Sandy" Ogilvy, Philip G. Schrag

Scholarly Articles

This Article begins with a description of educational contracting and a review of the literature. The body of the Article focuses on our use of formal, written learning contracts in a clinical course taught at Georgetown University Law Center. We describe the method of contracting, the key provisions of most contracts and the response of students to the use of this device. Finally, we speculate about possible uses of learning contracts in nonclinical law school offerings.

Intellect Beyond Law: The Case Of Legal Education, Peter W. Gross Jan 1985

Intellect Beyond Law: The Case Of Legal Education, Peter W. Gross

Cleveland State Law Review

Conceptions of intellect long basic to Western academic thought increasingly are being called into question. These conceptions, which equate intellect with finding and applying the "laws" that govern phenomena, have been seen to divorce us from realities of choice and self-creation that underlie the human experience. The first half of the Article develops these themes, suggesting the philosophical and practical importance of alternative, more expansive conceptions of intellect. The second half then illustrates these points, using legal education as a case study.

The Metamorphosis Of Legal Education Symposium On Legal Education, Peter L. Strauss Jan 1985

The Metamorphosis Of Legal Education Symposium On Legal Education, Peter L. Strauss

Faculty Scholarship

Professor Brook's remarks this morning provide a context for my own. I mean to say a word or two for the classical era. One of the characteristics of legal education over the past half century or so, one that we ought not give up, has been its passion for order in a chaotic world. Striking as it is to say that "a passion for order ill suits a chaotic world," the world has ever been chaotic – and that passion, our principal defense. The question is, with what principles of order do we exercise that passion, to subdue unruly fact. …

Articles

I teach in classrooms where, ten years ago, I sat as a student. People who were my teachers are now my colleagues. People who were my students are still my friends. The difference between teacher and student, it seems to me, is more appropriately described as progression through a life than as distinct positions in a hierarchy.


Preparation Of The Multistate Bar Examination: One Drafting Committee's Perspective, John W. Reed Jan 1985

Preparation Of The Multistate Bar Examination: One Drafting Committee's Perspective, John W. Reed

Articles

One who wants to know how the Multistate Bar Examination is created should begin by learning how the drafting committees work. My assignment is to describe the work of one of those committees: the Evidence Committee. Though there are differences among the six committees, they mostly are ones of style, and to learn how to operate in the evidence group is to understand the process generally.
