Observations On The Folly Of Using Student Evaluations Of College Teaching For Faculty Evaluation, Pay, And Retention Decisions And Its Implications For Academic Freedom, William Arthur Wines, Terence J. Lau
Observations On The Folly Of Using Student Evaluations Of College Teaching For Faculty Evaluation, Pay, And Retention Decisions And Its Implications For Academic Freedom, William Arthur Wines, Terence J. Lau
William & Mary Journal of Race, Gender, and Social Justice
Research on student teaching evaluations is vast. An examination of this research demonstrates wide disagreements but also substantial consensus of authority for the proposition that student evaluations should be used only with extreme care, if at all, in making personnel decisions. A number of reasons cause administrators to use teaching evaluations for personnel decisions. The literature, however, is virtually unanimous in its condemnation of norming student evaluations in order to rank classroom performances. Current cases on academic freedom indicate some retrenchment by the Circuits from broader pronouncements in earlier Supreme Court cases. This paper concludes that the use of non-validated …
The Psychology Behind Case Briefing: A Powerful Cognitive Schema, Leah M. Christensen
The Psychology Behind Case Briefing: A Powerful Cognitive Schema, Leah M. Christensen
Campbell Law Review
This article will first examine why case reading and analysis is challenging to new law students. It will then introduce "schema" theory as it is understood in the field of cognitive psychology and explore how it applies to legal case analysis. Finally, this article will offer various suggestions about how we can enhance our students' analytical skills. By learning more about the science behind cognition and how it applies to our students, we can increase our students' understanding of the complex legal materials they read during their first year of law school.

Building On Strong Foundations: Rethinking Legal Education With A View To Improving Curricular Quality, Veronica Henderson
Building On Strong Foundations: Rethinking Legal Education With A View To Improving Curricular Quality, Veronica Henderson
Dalhousie Law Journal
Recent increases in law school tuition provide an occasion for criticalreflection on precisely what law students are being offered in their formal education. The aim of this article is to help catalyze discussion of what quality legal education entails. It begins by outlining the current underpinnings of Canadian legal education, especially the foundation of issue identification. Newer developments in legal education are also canvassed.A foundational critique is then applied to elucidate the main weakness of thepresent curricular structure: students are graduating with a flat understanding of the law Employing Dr Oliver Sacks's critique of medical education as a starting point, …

Franklin Pierce Law Center: Leading The Way In Legal Education For New Hampshire, John D. Hutson
The University of New Hampshire Law Review
[Excerpt] "This issue of the Pierce Law Review is the first devoted entirely to the practice of law in New Hampshire. This venture is appropriate because the Franklin Pierce Law Center is the only law school in the State. We are truly New Hampshire’s law school. Our Trustees, faculty, staff, and students feel this responsibility profoundly. Pierce Law serves as both a state law school and a national and international school. While we send a greater percentage of our graduates out of state than any other law school in the country except one, our alumni comprise fully one-third of the …

Equal Justice From A New Perspective: The Need For A First-Year Clinical Course On Public Interest Mediation, David Dominguez
Equal Justice From A New Perspective: The Need For A First-Year Clinical Course On Public Interest Mediation, David Dominguez
Utah Law Review
It really is possible to deliver enough no-cost or low-cost legal problem solving services to provide equal justice. To get there, however, we need to experiment with new strategies and methods to achieve the goal, including the new skill of PIM. My hunch is that if first-year law students can prove to themselves in a clinical setting that public service lawyering can produce a multiplier effect for the greater public good, a new commitment to equal justice will emerge in the legal profession.
The Multistate Bar Exam As A Theory Of Law, Daniel J. Solove
The Multistate Bar Exam As A Theory Of Law, Daniel J. Solove
Michigan Law Review
What is the most widely read work of jurisprudence by those in the legal system? Is it H.L.A. Hart's The Concept of Law? Ronald Dworkin's Law's Empire? No. It is actually the Multistate Bar Exam ("Bar Exam"). Perhaps no other work on law has been so widely read by those in the legal profession. Although the precise text of the Bar Exam is different every year, it presents a jurisprudence that transcends the specific language of its text. Each year, thousands of lawyers-to-be ponder over it, learning its profound teachings on the meaning of the law. They study …
Herbert Hart Elucidated, A. W. Brian Simpson
Herbert Hart Elucidated, A. W. Brian Simpson
Michigan Law Review
There are a number of good biographies of judges, but very few of individual legal academics; indeed, so far as American legal academics are concerned, the only one of note that comes to mind is William Twining's life of Karl Llewellyn. Llewellyn was, of course, a major figure in the evolution of American law, and his unusual life was a further advantage for his biographer. In this biography, Nicola Lace has taken as her subject an English academic who also had an unusual career, one whose contribution was principally not to the evolution of the English legal system but to …
What Nobody Knows, John C. P. Goldberg
What Nobody Knows, John C. P. Goldberg
Michigan Law Review
By meditating on displays of cunning in literature, history, and current events, Don Herzog in his new book isolates and probes difficult puzzles concerning how to understand and evaluate human conduct. The point of the exercise is not to offer a system or framework for resolving these puzzles. Quite the opposite, Cunning aims to discomfit its academic audience in two ways. First, it sets out to show that some of the central dichotomies of modem thought-those between means and ends, reason and desire, self-interest and morality, fact and value, virtue and vice, knowledge and politics, authenticity and artifice, and appearance …

The "Ambitious Modesty" Of Harry Arthurs' Humane Professionalism, Julian Webb
The "Ambitious Modesty" Of Harry Arthurs' Humane Professionalism, Julian Webb
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
This article revisits Law and Learning, the 1983 Report of the Consultative Committee on Research and Education in Law, chaired by Harry Arthurs. The Arthurs Report set an ambitious agenda which sought, through the reform of legal education and scholarship, the cultivation of a "humane professionalism." That it met with limited success reflects a number of systemic problems with legal education, and the Report's own failure to address some critical issues, notably legal pedagogy. Nevertheless, the article argues that in the context of today's increasingly complex, pluralistic, and globalized environment, the law schools need humane professionalism more than ever. It …

Ranking Law Schools: A Market Test?, Cass R. Sunstein
Ranking Law Schools: A Market Test?, Cass R. Sunstein
Indiana Law Journal
Instead of ranking law schools through statistical aggregations of expert judgments or by combining a list of heterogeneous factors, it would be possible to rely on a market test simply by examining student choices. This tournament-type approach would have the large advantage of relying on the widely dispersed information that students actually have; it would also reduce reliance on factors that can be manipulated (and whose manipulation does no good other than to increase rankings). On the other hand, a market test has several problems as a measure of law school quality, partly because cognitive biases and social influences may …

The Rat Race As An Information-Forcing Device, Scott Baker, Stephen J. Choi, Mitu Gulati
Indiana Law Journal
In many job settings, there will be some promotion criteria that are less amenable to measurement than others. Often, what is difficult to measure is more important. For example, possessing "good judgment" under pressure may be a better predictor of success as a law firm partner than the ability to bill a vast amount of hours. The first puzzle that this essay explores is why, in some promotion settings, organizations appear to focus on less important, but measurable, criteria such as hours billed The answer lies in the relationship between the objectively measurable criteria, on the one hand, and the …
