Law School Never Stops, Robert L. Clare
Law School Never Stops, Robert L. Clare
Cleveland State Law Review
In the past, law school graduates were molded into lawyers through along period of training. However, the modern legal community - law firms, law staffs of corporations and government agencies, bar associations, continuing legal education institutes and law schools - has begun to implement a whole new philosophy of legal training predicated upon the direct teaching of legal practice skills rather than the experience orientated process.
Love, Professional Responsibility, The Rule Of Law, And Clinical Legal Education, Steven H. Leleiko
Love, Professional Responsibility, The Rule Of Law, And Clinical Legal Education, Steven H. Leleiko
Cleveland State Law Review
The primary purpose of this article is to explore the tensions which arise in persons who come to law school because they view the practice of law as an expression of their love and concern for people. In examining the underlying causes of these tensions, six related factors will be looked at: (1) the relationship between the values of traditional legal education and the support or lack of support which these values afford to the affective characteristics of students; (2) the role of one's job as a means of expressing love; (3) the role of job satisfaction in one's life; …
Professional Responsibility Of A Law Teachers, Norman Redlich
Professional Responsibility Of A Law Teachers, Norman Redlich
Cleveland State Law Review
What are the essential ingredients of the proposed code of professional responsibility for the law teacher? First, the law teacher should take seriously the subject of ethics and professional responsibility. Second, law teachers should insist on students adhering to professional standards. Third, the essential quid pro quo for insisting on high professional standards on the part of the student is for the law teacher to demonstrate respect for students and for their time. Law teachers should respond to the views of the students with the courtesy and respect accorded to fellow professionals. Respect for one's faculty colleagues is an important …
Why Don't Law Schools Teach Law Students How To Try Law Suits, Edward J. Devitt
Why Don't Law Schools Teach Law Students How To Try Law Suits, Edward J. Devitt
Cleveland State Law Review
As chairman of the Devitt Committee I was exposed to a wide range of views concerning the issue of the quality of trial advocacy in this country's courts. That experience made apparent the seriousness of the problem of inadequate trial advocacy and the necessity for appropriate remedies. The cure for this lies primarily with the law schools. What is needed is a fundamental change in attitude among American law schools. This commentary will establish that these pragmatic views have the support of logic, history and the available hard evidence.
The Contradictions Of Clinical Legal Education, Ralph S. Tyler, Robert S. Catz
The Contradictions Of Clinical Legal Education, Ralph S. Tyler, Robert S. Catz
Cleveland State Law Review
The central thesis of this commentary is that clinical methodology is sound theoretically, as it provides a necessary and vital complement to other modes of legal education, but that the exciting potential of this method will not be realized so long as law school clinical programs rely primarily on "live client" cases to teach their students. Because the live client model is used extensively in clinical programs, this commentary will assess that model of clinical education by seeking to identify the problems associated with maintaining a law office in the law school environment. Particular attention will be given to the …
Clinical Legal Education: The Case Against Separatism, Frank W. Munger
Clinical Legal Education: The Case Against Separatism, Frank W. Munger
Cleveland State Law Review
In this article I attempt to support my conclusion that the future of clinical education lies in its contributions to the classroom, rather than in its function as an independent source of training. This last phase of the clinical movement is the most important, and will constitute the greatest contribution of clinicians to legal education. I will argue that the concerns of clinicians have stimulated the soundest recent thinking about improvements in legal education, and that, therefore, clinics should be used to develop innovations in teaching which can be applied to the traditional classroom. If my arguments are valid, then …

Approaches And Stumbling Blocks To Integration Of Skills Training And The Traditional Methods Of Teaching Law, W. Noel Keyes
Approaches And Stumbling Blocks To Integration Of Skills Training And The Traditional Methods Of Teaching Law, W. Noel Keyes
Cleveland State Law Review
Having practiced for many years before becoming a law professor, the author felt compelled to look at the problem of how to integrate practical training into traditional methods for teaching law. It was soon evident that the solution could not be found if one took a pejorative attitude, dwelling on negative terminology such as "anti-intellectualism," but only if it was recognized that law study has little meaning without a concurrent study of its practice. This commentary will propose a mode for accomplishing this integration.
Here's What We Do: Some Notes About Clinical Legal Education, Stephen Wizner, Dennis Curtis
Here's What We Do: Some Notes About Clinical Legal Education, Stephen Wizner, Dennis Curtis
Cleveland State Law Review
For the past decade we have been engaged in developing the Yale Law School clinical program. From time to time academic colleagues, practicing lawyers, and even non-lawyers have asked what we do. Until we were invited to do so, however, we never could bring ourselves to put down on paper some of our thoughts about legal education in general, and clinical legal education in particular, gleaned from years of working in the field. These notes represent a beginning in that direction.
The Legacy Of Clinical Education: Theories About Lawyering, Carrie Menkel-Meadow
The Legacy Of Clinical Education: Theories About Lawyering, Carrie Menkel-Meadow
Cleveland State Law Review
This article will examine some of the various schools of thought about what lawyers do. It is offered as a commentary on the beginning of a philosophy or sociology of lawyering that is derived from the clinical movement which will survive long after the pedagogical and political disputes about clinical methodology have been resolved. This is a subjective study which incorporates my own interpretations of the concepts of the various schools of thought. I describe the approaches to or theories about lawyering and their "creators" as I know them, recognizing that some major theories, schools and people may not for …
A New Model For Legal Communication: Sensory Experience And Representational Systems, John L. Barkai
A New Model For Legal Communication: Sensory Experience And Representational Systems, John L. Barkai
Cleveland State Law Review
This article will present a model for improving oral legal communication. The discussion will demonstrate how human beings create sensory-based models of the parts of the world they experience' and how these models affect the communication process. The three principal sensory-based channels of communication will be described, and the article will explain how both knowledge and use of these channels can improve the rapport and informational functions of communication. Emphasis will be placed on the lawyer's ability to recognize the world model of the people with whom he communicates and to adapt his own process of communication to insure that …
Student Representation Of Indigent Defendants And The Sixth Amendment: On A Collision Course, Robert M. Hardaway
Student Representation Of Indigent Defendants And The Sixth Amendment: On A Collision Course, Robert M. Hardaway
Cleveland State Law Review
This article will review the parallel patterns of development of clinical education and the sixth amendment, highlighting areas in which the practices of the former either conflict, or contain the potential for conflict with the latter. An analysis will be made of the present legal status of law student representation of indigent criminal defendants, with reference primarily to constitutional and sixth amendment considerations, but also to such related matters as the confidentiality of student-client communications, law student professional responsibility, and the applicability to students of state bar disciplinary rules. Finally, guidelines will be proposed regarding the proper scope of student …
