Learning Through Work: An Empirical Study Of Legal Internship, Daniel J. Givelber, Brook K. Baker, John Mcdevitt, Robyn Miliano
Daniel J. Givelber
The authors present the results of an extended empirical investigation of law students' beliefs about how well they learn in work settings and which factors distinguish between settings where they learn well and those where they do not. The results resonate with a theory of ecological learning which they present in summary form. Through their data, based upon responses to more than 500 work experiences, they attempt to explore the validity of many of the current criticisms of workplace learning. Their analysis and findings cast doubt on the belief, reified by the MacCrate Report, that legal educators must participate actively …
Public Health Versus Court-Sponsored Secrecy, Daniel Givelber, Anthony Robbins
Public Health Versus Court-Sponsored Secrecy, Daniel Givelber, Anthony Robbins
Daniel J. Givelber
Public health practice - the prevention of disease and injury and the protection of the population - relies on access to information.

Liberation Reconsidered: Understanding Why Judges And Juries Disagree About Guilt, Amy Farrell, Daniel Givelber
Daniel J. Givelber
Data collected in four jurisdictions by the National Center for State Courts allows us to examine the question of judge and jury disagreement about guilt through a consideration of the views of jurors as well as judges. Using this data, we test in a modern context the hypothesis that the jury's embrace of values -- as opposed to its different assessment of the evidence -- explains why juries acquit when judges would convict. We find that legal and extralegal factors affect both judge and jury decisions about guilt, that both sets of factors predict disagreement in different contexts, and the …
