Take An Active Role In Improving Legal Education, Wes R. Porter
Take An Active Role In Improving Legal Education, Wes R. Porter
Publications
As a law professor, catching up with classes, scholarship, and other work after a conference is always challenging. Last month, I returned to San Francisco from the first gathering of the previously-only-virtual community connected through the Educating Tomorrow’s Lawyers Initiative (ETL) and website. ETL, through a conference entitled "The Development of Professional Identity in Legal Education," brought together teams from its consortium schools, its ETL fellows, and many other legal education reform advocates. Upon my return, I was confronted with yet another demand on my time (and on my brain). Ideas. Many, many ideas.
Use Of Role Play And Interview Modes In Law Clinic Case Rounds To Teach Essential Legal Skills And To Maximize Meaningful Participation, Helen Kang
Publications
Case rounds are a common feature of the seminar component of clinical programs. This article describes using in the case rounds setting multiple design elements, including role plays and formalized interviews, to enhance student learning and engagement. In the rounds described here, a student presenter is asked to adopt the role of her opponent in her clinic case and to explain succinctly the opponent's case, followed by an informational session in which the student presenter is allowed only to give short answers in response to questions from her clinic peers; and after the question-and-answer session, students and their professors debrief …

So Your Paralegal Is Applying To Law School, Angela Dalfen
So Your Paralegal Is Applying To Law School, Angela Dalfen
Publications
More than 40,000 individuals will apply to law school this fall. Some of them no doubt work in your law office, and may be asking you to write a letter of recommendation to add to their application materials. You may be surprised to learn that these letters do get read. In fact, a strong letter of recommendation from someone familiar with the applicant's strengths and level of exposure to the realities of day-to-day legal practice can make a big impact. These letters often tip the scales when an admissions committee is uncertain whether to admit a candidate with a perceived …

Book Review: The Oxford Handbook Of Empirical Legal Rearch, William T. Gallagher
Book Review: The Oxford Handbook Of Empirical Legal Rearch, William T. Gallagher
Publications
The Oxford Handbook of Empirical Legal Research, edited by Peter Cane and Herbert M. Kritzer, is an excellent scholarly resource that is especially timely given the recent resurgence of interest by (mostly) legal academics in the empirical study of law. As the editors suggest, it is precisely because of this resurgent interest that it is important to understand contemporary empirical legal research in the context of its historical and institutional roots and in light of ongoing scholarly debate about the most appropriate methodologies for conducting this type of research.

Text Is Still A Noun: Preserving Linear Text-Based Literacy In An E-Literate World, Mark Yates
Text Is Still A Noun: Preserving Linear Text-Based Literacy In An E-Literate World, Mark Yates
Publications
In this Article, I will argue that, as legal educators, we must balance our use of technology for pedagogical purposes against the importance of preserving linear, text-based literacy. In Part I, I examine recent works that examine the societal impact of digital technology and the Internet. Three important books in particular, by Nicholas Carr, Mark Bauerlein, and Steven Johnson, warrant in-depth discussion because they frame the broader debate about the costs and benefits of new technology. In Part II, I will examine the discussion among legal educators about the use of technology in the classroom and how we have responded …
The Legal Clinic Is More Than A Sign On The Door: Transforming Law School Education In Revolutionary Egypt, Stephen A. Rosenbaum
The Legal Clinic Is More Than A Sign On The Door: Transforming Law School Education In Revolutionary Egypt, Stephen A. Rosenbaum
Publications
There is little consensus on what the January 25, 2011 Revolution in Egypt stands for, or whether Egyptians are living through the Revolution or in a post-Revolutionary State. Skeptics say that what occurred is the overthrow of an autocratic President, the retention of an Old Guard military and civil service establishment, and the potential for free and fair national elections. They contend, however, that this seminal event in the Arab Spring produced no revolutionary leadership and no clear platform or message. Is there a role for law schools in the revolutionary transformation?
In this article, the author describes the changes …
