The Nobel Prize For Law, Alfred F. Conard
The Nobel Prize For Law, Alfred F. Conard
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
There is no Nobel prize for law. This lack is not in itself a cause for concern, since the discipline of law is replete with its own rewards. But some cause for concern inheres in the implication that law provides very few examples of the kinds of contributions to humanity that merit Nobel prizes.
Is Thinking Like A Lawyer Enough?, Sallyanne Payton
Is Thinking Like A Lawyer Enough?, Sallyanne Payton
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Every year that I attend meetings of the Law School's Committee of Visitors I ask members of the committee how the school might improve the training that we give to our graduates. Every year until this one the lawyers who have responded to this question have given a standard answer: the young lawyers are smart, they say, smarter in many respects than their seniors, but they don't know how to write well. This response usually leads to a discussion of the proper place of skills training in the law school curriculum; lawyers and professors engage in a little jousting over …

Lawyers And Professionalism: A Further Psychiatric Perspective On Legal Education, Andrew S. Watson
Lawyers And Professionalism: A Further Psychiatric Perspective On Legal Education, Andrew S. Watson
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
In recent years, clinical teaching methods have played an increasingly significant role in the education of this nation's lawyers. With the consequential accumulation of data pertaining to various institutional experiences, it is now worthwhile to explore, from a clinician's perspective, some of the psychodynamics of this educational process as it appears to affect a student's future professional behavior. In addition to such an examination, this article will delineate methods for dealing with the stresses of a lawyer's professional life, suggesting ways in which the attorney may satisfy his goals as well as those of his client. It is hoped that …

The Law School's Role In Post-J.D. Specialty Education, Guy O. Kornblum
The Law School's Role In Post-J.D. Specialty Education, Guy O. Kornblum
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
As members of a profession which is largely self-policing, attorneys must find ways to protect the public by identifying the areas of practice that require special expertise and by ensuring that those who hold themselves out as specialists possess the necessary expertise. Simply because one claims a specialty or even practices a specialty does not mean that he has the requisite competence to practice in the field. Because one is presently competent in a specialty does not mean that he will continue to practice and maintain his competence and keep abreast of new techniques and developments. Certainly the profession should …

On Legal Writing, Albert P. Blaustein
On Legal Writing, Albert P. Blaustein
Cleveland State Law Review
Virtually all legal writing is atrocious! This is true about (a) statutes and administrative regulations; (b) judicial opinions and agency rulings; (c) trial papers and appellate briefs; (d) office memoranda and opinion letters; (e) annotations and digest paragraphs; and (f) law treatises and legal articles. It is even true (especially true?) about articles on legal writing. This is a serious matter. For the ramifications of bad legal writing are very costly-in time, in money and, indeed, in the very quality of life. Working to improve legal writing is no frivolous exercise.
Legal Education For Certified Specialization, Philip E. Heckerling
Legal Education For Certified Specialization, Philip E. Heckerling
Cleveland State Law Review
The purpose of this paper is to offer a partial solution to the public's loss of confidence in lawyers, suggesting that by means of post-graduate education conducted under the auspices of the various law schools, professional specialization in the law will be encouraged through certification, with the end result that lawyers and the public will both benefit psychologically and economically.

Law Books Of The Year (1943-44), Hobart R. Coffey
Law Books Of The Year (1943-44), Hobart R. Coffey
Michigan Law Review
Contrary to my inclination and somewhat against my better judgment I have been prevailed upon by the editor to repeat the experiment begun last year, viz., to produce a sort of running account of some of the more important legal publications which have appeared in the last twelve months. It goes almost without saying that a competent review of a single serious work requires both considerable time and space. An adequate critical review of fifty or sixty works would be quite out of the question for anyone who had anything else to do. In my comments on the books which …
