A Brief Exploration Of Space: Some Observations On Law School Architecture, Robert H. Jerry Ii
A Brief Exploration Of Space: Some Observations On Law School Architecture, Robert H. Jerry Ii
UF Law Faculty Publications
The nature of the space in which we work, teach, and study is important. The design of our surroundings affects our attitudes, moods, self-esteem, efficiency, and sense of community. For our students, space makes a difference in the quality of the learning experience. It is possible to teach and learn in deficient space, but it is easier to teach and learn when both faculty and students are comfortable, happy, and not distracted by the inconveniences and annoyances of a poorly designed environment. Inadequate space prevents us from achieving all of which we are capable, thereby diminishing our productivity, creativity, and …

The story of women in American society has largely been defined and recorded by men and the institutions that men have dominated for most of the past two hundred-odd years. Women have been denied access to education, employment, political power and other benefits of social intercourse by exclusion, intimidation, ridicule and patronization. The experience of women in law school is one part of that experience. Law school is an arduous undertaking whether one is male or female. Gaining admission to modern law schools requires talent and demonstrated academic performance in a competitive environment. But in the nineteenth century, the foremost …

Taking Back The Law School Classroom: Using Technology To Foster Active Student Learning , Rafael Gely, Paul L. Caron
Faculty Publications
Law schools (and indeed all of higher education) have witnessed an explosive growth in the use of technology in the classroom. Many law teachers now deploy a wide array of technological bells and whistles, including PowerPoint slides, Web-based course platforms, in-class Internet access, and the like. Students, in turn, increasingly come to class armed with laptop computers to harvest the fruits of the classroom experience. Yet in recent years there has been something of a backlash, with various law teachers arguing that this technology is interfering with, rather than improving, pedagogy in the classroom. According to the critics, the technology …
Fear, Irrationality, And Risk Perception, Henry L. Chambers, Jr.
Fear, Irrationality, And Risk Perception, Henry L. Chambers, Jr.
Law Faculty Publications
This brief commentary makes two points. The first is that fear can play multiple roles in any decision-making process. The second is that accurately determining whether reactions to fear are irrational is a complex task. Though neither point necessarily requires that symposium participants abandon their positions, together they suggest that extreme care is necessary in developing policy prescriptions based on the claim that fear can trigger irrationality.

Academic Support At The Crossroads: From Minority Retention To Bar Prep And Beyond - Will Academic Support Change Legal Education Or Itself Be Fundamentally Changed?, Ellen Y. Suni
Faculty Works
In 1982, Duncan Kennedy's essay on hierarchies in legal education appeared in the Journal of Legal Education and publicly recognized what many had acknowledged to be problems and gaps in contemporary legal education. At the time the article was written, academic support as an institution in legal education was in its infancy. Looking back at the development of the academic support movement demonstrates that, in many respects, it was designed to address at least some of the issues raised by Kennedy. This essay looks at the emergence of academic support in legal education in the context of Kennedy's article, examining …
Race And Equality Across The Law School Curriculum: The Law Of Tax Exemption, David A. Brennen
Race And Equality Across The Law School Curriculum: The Law Of Tax Exemption, David A. Brennen
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
What is the relevance of race to tax law? The race issues are apparent when one studies a subject like constitutional law. The Constitution concerns itself explicitly with such matters as defining rights of citizenship, allocating powers of government, and determining rights with respect to property. Given the history of our country -- with slavery followed by periods of de jure and de facto racial discrimination -- these constitutional law matters obviously must have racial dimensions.
Tax law, however, does not generally concern itself explicitly with matters of race. Tax law is often thought of as completely race neutral in …

Pro Bono In Times Of Crisis: Looking Forward By Looking Back, Deborah Rhode
Fordham Urban Law Journal
Thousands of lawyers donated their time in response to the crisis of 9/11, but many did not. A remaining challenge is to ensure that the vast majority of the legal profession views public service as an essential professional responsibility. This essay examines previous studies on the pro bono contributions of those in the legal profession and how the findings of those studies show what motivations and sustains lawyers' public service. Specifically, this essay examines pro bono legal assistance in response to the 9/11 crisis. The author explains that it is essential to give law students a sense of obligation in …

How To Improve Student Ratings: Views From The Trenches, Judith D. Fischer
How To Improve Student Ratings: Views From The Trenches, Judith D. Fischer
Judith D. Fischer
This article reports a study about student ratings of professors (sometimes called “student evaluations of teaching”). Survey respondents were teachers of legal writing in U.S. law schools. Their advice about improving teaching included being prepared for class, respecting the students, and caring about the students. Advice tailored specifically to the student ratings included being “upbeat,” not giving grades before the students complete the evaluation forms, and laying groundwork before presenting unpopular topics. The article also references biases and negative effects of student ratings.
