Intellect Beyond Law: The Case Of Legal Education, Peter W. Gross Jan 1985

Intellect Beyond Law: The Case Of Legal Education, Peter W. Gross

Cleveland State Law Review

Conceptions of intellect long basic to Western academic thought increasingly are being called into question. These conceptions, which equate intellect with finding and applying the "laws" that govern phenomena, have been seen to divorce us from realities of choice and self-creation that underlie the human experience. The first half of the Article develops these themes, suggesting the philosophical and practical importance of alternative, more expansive conceptions of intellect. The second half then illustrates these points, using legal education as a case study.

Preparation Of The Multistate Bar Examination: One Drafting Committee's Perspective, John W. Reed Jan 1985

Preparation Of The Multistate Bar Examination: One Drafting Committee's Perspective, John W. Reed

Articles

One who wants to know how the Multistate Bar Examination is created should begin by learning how the drafting committees work. My assignment is to describe the work of one of those committees: the Evidence Committee. Though there are differences among the six committees, they mostly are ones of style, and to learn how to operate in the evidence group is to understand the process generally.


Reaction To The Arthurs Report, Innis Christie, Janice Dicken Mcginnis, David T. Fraser Jan 1985

Reaction To The Arthurs Report, Innis Christie, Janice Dicken Mcginnis, David T. Fraser

Innis Christie Collection

It is now more than two years since the publication of Law and Learning: The Report of The Consultative Group on Research and Education in Law to the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, known to all legal academics as "the Arthurs Report". In that time the Canadian Bar Review has published one commentary on the Report and there have been a few comments in academic law journals, but the reaction in print is not commensurate with the importance of the Report or the interest in it among teachers and scholars of law in Canada generally and at …

The Metamorphosis Of Legal Education Symposium On Legal Education, Peter L. Strauss Jan 1985

The Metamorphosis Of Legal Education Symposium On Legal Education, Peter L. Strauss

Faculty Scholarship

Professor Brook's remarks this morning provide a context for my own. I mean to say a word or two for the classical era. One of the characteristics of legal education over the past half century or so, one that we ought not give up, has been its passion for order in a chaotic world. Striking as it is to say that "a passion for order ill suits a chaotic world," the world has ever been chaotic – and that passion, our principal defense. The question is, with what principles of order do we exercise that passion, to subdue unruly fact. …

Court Trial Empirical Survey: Interview Responses From Trial Judges Explaining Their Experiences And Views Regarding The Trial Of Non-Jury Cases, John O. Sonsteng, Roger S. Haydock

Faculty Scholarship

Knowing how a judge will react to certain trial techniques in a trial can greatly enhance an attorney's effectiveness in the courtroom. This article contains and explains the results of the authors' empirical survey. Fifty-nine judges serving in both criminal and civil court in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area were surveyed, with each judge responding to thirty-eight questions designed to obtain objective information concerning their experiences and views on effective trial advocacy. The survey covered eight topics: (1) trial briefs; (2) pretrial chambers discussions; (3) opening statements; (4) direct and cross-examinations; (5) evidentiary matters; (6) closing arguments; (7) findings of fact …
