Law And Leadership: Integrating Leadership Studies Into The Law School Curriculum, Paula A. Monopoli, Susan Mccarty
Law And Leadership: Integrating Leadership Studies Into The Law School Curriculum, Paula A. Monopoli, Susan Mccarty
Paula A Monopoli
Leadership includes the ability to persuade others to embrace one’s ideas and to act upon them. Teaching law students the art of persuasion through advocacy is at the heart of legal education. But historically law schools have not included leadership studies in the curriculum. This book is one of the first to examine whether and how to integrate the theory and practice of leadership studies into legal education and the legal profession. Interdisciplinary in its scope, with contributions from legal educators and practitioners, the book defines leadership in the context of the legal profession and explores its challenges in legal …

Cres Programs For Legal Education, David S. Bogen, Eric Sherbine
Cres Programs For Legal Education, David S. Bogen, Eric Sherbine
David S. Bogen
Students complain that they do not get enough feedback on their progress through the year. Faculty members complain that students cannot write, although they often mean that students cannot analyze in writing. But mid-semester examinations are a pain to grade and often do not cover enough material to challenge students in recognizing the issues. Multiple choice examinations are weak choices for issue spotting, time consuming to construct, and offer no opportunity for writing. Most forms of examination grading do not really help the student understand exactly what they should be doing. Sample answers alone may or may not be read, …
Critical Review Examination System (Cres) Computer Assisted Student Self-Critique Of Essay Question Answers, David S. Bogen
Critical Review Examination System (Cres) Computer Assisted Student Self-Critique Of Essay Question Answers, David S. Bogen
David S. Bogen
This paper discusses the Critical Review Exam System [CRES] developed by Alan Tyree in Australia in which the computer poses a question requiring an essay answer. After the student answer has been "submitted," the computer asks the student a number of simple yes/no questions about the submitted answer. In effect, students mark their own answer. The "critical review" questions may be arranged in a tree structure, thus facilitating the use of questions which have no "right" answer.

What's On First?: Organizing The Casebook And Molding The Mind, Donald G. Gifford, Joseph L. Kroart Iii, Brian Jones, Cheryl Cortemeglia

This study empirically tests the proposition that law students adopt different conceptions of the judge’s role in adjudication based on whether they first study intentional torts, negligence, or strict liability. The authors conducted an anonymous survey of more than 450 students enrolled in eight law schools at the beginning, mid-point, and end of the first semester of law school. The students were prompted to indicate to what extent they believed the judge’s role to be one of rule application and, conversely, to what extent it was one of considering social, economic, and ideological factors. The survey found that while all …

Using An Alumni Survey To Assess Whether Skills Teaching Aligns With Alumni Practice, Sheila F. Miller Ms.
Sheila F. Miller Ms.
This article addresses the implications of the results of a survey of alumni in which they identify the research and writing skills they use in practice. Comparisons are drawn to other similar survey results. The author draws conclusions regarding techniques to be used in teaching research and writing skills based on the survey results. This article should be helpful to those who are interested in pursuing data on their own alumni, a practice encouraged by the article. Moreover, the article should be helpful for those teaching research and writing because there are implications from the findings that may inform how …
Book Review: Stacey Steele And Kathryn Taylor, Eds., Legal Education In Asia: Globalization, Change And Contexts, Carole Silver
Book Review: Stacey Steele And Kathryn Taylor, Eds., Legal Education In Asia: Globalization, Change And Contexts, Carole Silver
Carole Silver
U.S. legal education is under fire from all sides. Travel outside of the U.S., however, and the U.S. often is a model for reform efforts, even the standard against which legal education programs in much of the rest of the world measure themselves. In Legal Education in Asia, Stacey Steele, Kathryn Taylor and their co-authors offer insight into globalization’s influence on legal education. They find that globalization has sharpened the peripheral vision of reformers by encouraging them to consider the approaches followed elsewhere to educating lawyers as well as the role lawyers play in society. Their analysis also identifies the …

The Role Law Schools Should Play In Filling The Justice Gap, Karen Millard
The Role Law Schools Should Play In Filling The Justice Gap, Karen Millard
Karen Millard
In the article, details about the current need for legal services in the United States are provided. For example, in 2010, nearly one in seven Americans lived below the poverty line, the highest proportion in nearly two decades. As the number of people living in poverty continues to increase, the number of people needing legal assistance also continues to grow. What is startling is that only about twenty percent of the legal needs of low-income people are being satisfied. One reason for this is that a total of less than one percent of the nation’s legal expenditures is given to …
Rodrigo's Riposte: The Mismatch Theory Of Law School Admissions, Richard Delgado
Rodrigo's Riposte: The Mismatch Theory Of Law School Admissions, Richard Delgado
Richard Delgado
The chronicle proceeds as a dialogue between the fictional alter ego, Rodrigo Crenshaw, and an older professor. After meeting in Rodrigo’s city, the two friends, joined later by “Giannina,” go out to dinner. Rodrigo, who is on his law school’s admissions committee, has been thinking about affirmative action. Prompted by his conservative colleague “Laz,” Rodrigo has formulated a several-pronged attack on Sander’s premise that “stairstep” admissions (and, later, law firm hiring) just hurts the cause of black lawyers. The professor presses Rodrigo to defend his views, and the arrival of Giannina requires him to articulate them even more. You will …

A Heretical View Of Teaching: A Contrarian Looks At Teaching, The Carnegie Report And Best Practices, Gary Shaw
A Heretical View Of Teaching: A Contrarian Looks At Teaching, The Carnegie Report And Best Practices, Gary Shaw
Gary M. Shaw
This article takes a position contrary to those of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching Report, Educating Lawyers and Best Practices for Legal Education. It argues that much of the harm those reports attribute to Socratic dialogue is misguided— that the problems that arise are a result ofbad teaching technique rather than any flaw intrinsic in Socratic dialogue. It then goes on to argue that because many of the problems the two reports are trying to address are due to poor teaching rather than the Socratic dialogue, the reports’ recommendations cannot achieve the results hoped for. Current law …
Note: Guiding The Modern Lawyer Through A Global Economy: An Analysis On Outsourcing And The Aba's 2012 Proposed Changes To The Model Rules, Patrick Poole
Patrick Poole
Over the last few decades, the dramatic changes that have occurred in the global economy have similarly altered the landscape for outsourced work both domestically and internationally. One study estimates that as many as 3.3 million white-collar jobs could be shipped abroad by 2015. This growing trend has also substantially affected the unique nature of the legal field. For the past year and a half, the American Bar Association (ABA) Ethics 20/20 Commission has been considering changes to the Model Rules of Professional Conduct as they relate to domestic and international outsourcing. The revision process has included soliciting input from …
States Side Story: Career Paths Of International Ll.M. Students, Or “I Like To Be In America”, Carole Silver
States Side Story: Career Paths Of International Ll.M. Students, Or “I Like To Be In America”, Carole Silver
Carole Silver
This Article draws on an empirical study of the careers of international law graduates who earned an LL.M. in the United States, and considers the role of a U.S. LL.M. as a path for building a legal career in the United States. It identifies the institutional, political, and economic forces that present challenges to graduates who attempt to stay in the United States. While U.S. law schools prize the international diversity of their graduate students, this study reveals that the U.S. legal profession is most accessible to international students from English-speaking common law countries, whose language and background allow them …
It's All About The People: Personal Jurisdiction, Lord Of The Rings And Classroom Community In Civil Procedure I, Jennifer E. Spreng
It's All About The People: Personal Jurisdiction, Lord Of The Rings And Classroom Community In Civil Procedure I, Jennifer E. Spreng
Jennifer E Spreng
This article describes my ongoing experiments with “learning communities” and “spiral curricula” in my Civil Procedure I classes, as influenced by my eight years as a sole practitioner in Western Kentucky. Despite endorsement from many education theorists and classroom teachers and potential effectiveness in combating student disaffection, neither has made more than the shallowest dent in legal education. “Classroom community” implies a less stratified and more culturally respectful education experience that is more rewarding, more honorable and more likely to be urban law school graduates’ professional future. Spiral curriculum design facilitates analytical depth that leads to a sense of the …

Beyond Aristotle: Alternative Rhetorics And The Conflict Over The U.S. Law Professor Persona(E), Carlo A. Pedrioli
Carlo A. Pedrioli
Prior research has sketched out a picture in which, at least since 1960 and continuing to the present, advocates of the differing personae, or roles, of the U.S. law professor have been sharply divided over such personae. Lawyers have advocated two major personae for the law professor to perform. One major persona is that of the scholar, who is a full-time teacher, researcher, and sometimes public servant, but who often has limited practical experience. The other major persona is that of the practitioner, who has a substantial number of years of practice at the bar and is prepared for hands-on …
