Law Reform And Law For The Layman: A Challenge To Legal Education, Walter Barnett Oct 1971

Law Reform And Law For The Layman: A Challenge To Legal Education, Walter Barnett

Vanderbilt Law Review

Most of the current debate over academic neutrality has centered on whether the university as an institution--the faculty and students as a corporate body--should take formal positions on political issues, such as the war in Vietnam. This article will address the related, but perhaps more mundane, question whether law professors should take a more active role in providing legal services to government and to the public when this activity might provoke attacks on academic freedom.
