The Madoff Scandal, Market Regulatory Failure And The Business Education Of Lawyers, Robert Rhee
The Madoff Scandal, Market Regulatory Failure And The Business Education Of Lawyers, Robert Rhee
Robert Rhee
This essay suggests that a deficiency in legal education is a contributing cause of the regulatory failure. The most scandalous malfeasance of this new era, the Madoff Ponzi scheme, evinces the failure of improperly trained lawyers and regulators. It also calls into question whether the prevailing regulatory philosophy of disclosure of disclosure is sufficient in a complex market. This essay answers an important question underlying these considerations: What can legal education do to better train business lawyers and regulators for a market that is becoming more complex? One answer, it suggests, is a simple one: law schools should teach a …

Journeys To 20th Street: The Inner City As Critical Pedagogical Space For Legal Education, Sarah Buhler
Journeys To 20th Street: The Inner City As Critical Pedagogical Space For Legal Education, Sarah Buhler
Dalhousie Law Journal
This essay draws on critical geographical theories to propose that the location of clinical legal education programs in inner city space can affect the production of professional identities and ideologies oflaw students. It anchors its analysis in an examination of the clinical law program at the University of Saskatchewan College of Law, where students work at a poverty law clinic in Saskatoon's inner city. The paper first turns to a critical examination of law school space, which can function to promote dominant notions about law and legal practice. The author cautions that ifnot navigated attentively, thejourney to inner city space …

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
Pierson v. Post, 3 Caines 175 (N.Y. 1805), one of the most commonly assigned cases in the first-year Property course, was a dispute over the ownership of a fox discovered at large “upon a certain wild and uninhabited, unpossessed and waste land, called the beach.” For a very long time, all that was known about the case, other than the report itself, was a vivid but antiquarian account published in the Sag Harbor Express of October 24, 1895, by the judge and local historian Henry Parsons Hedges (1817-1911). Hedges claimed to have met Jesse Pierson (1780-1840) and Lodowick Post …

What Law Schools Should Teach Future Transactional Lawyers: Perspectives From Practice, Michael A. Woronoff
What Law Schools Should Teach Future Transactional Lawyers: Perspectives From Practice, Michael A. Woronoff
Michael A Woronoff
Since at least the 1980’s, law schools have been chided for doing a poor job at teaching skills. This criticism has been accompanied by pressure to increase their emphasis on skills training. The pressure increased with the publication of the McCrate Report in 1992, and then again with the publication of the Carnegie Report in 2007. This article is based on my remarks given on June 10 at the 2009 mid-year meeting of the AALS Conference on Business Associations. In those remarks, I respond to the questions “Are law schools teaching students adequate transactional skills?” and “From the standpoint of …

UNIVERSAL INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN: ENGAGING THE WHOLE CLASS By Douglas K. Rush and Suzanne J. Schmitz ABSTRACT This paper explores the application of Universal Instructional Design principles to law school pedagogy. Universal design originated as an architectural concept whose goal was to make structures accessible to people of all ability levels. The best known examples of universal design are sidewalk curb-cuts. Originally intended to allow access to mobility impaired individuals, sidewalk curb-cuts are now recognized as aiding people of all abilities in negotiating urban environments. Parents with small children in strollers, delivery people, travelers with roller luggage and even urban skateboarders …

All Faculty Scholarship
At a recent meeting of the National Association of Sentencing Commissions, Yale professor Dan Freed was honored during a panel discussion titled "Standing on the Shoulders of Sentencing Giants," Dan Freed is indeed a sentencing giant. but he is the gentlest giant of all. It is hard to imagine that a man as mild-mannered, soft-spoken, and self-effacing as Dan Freed has had such a profound impact on federal sentencing law and so many other areas of criminal justice policy, Yet he has.
I've been in many rooms with Dan Freed over the years — classrooms, boardrooms, dining rooms, and others. …

Law School 2.0: Legal Education For A Digital Age, David I.C. Thomson
Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship
Legal education is at a crossroads. As today's media-saturated students enter law school, they find themselves thrust into old style lecture-orientated, casebook modes of instruction, much of which is over 100 years old. Over those years legal education has resisted many studies recommending change, most recently from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and the Clinical Legal Education Association. . .

Teaching Business Lawyering In Law Schools: A Candid Assessment Of The Challenges And Some Suggestions For Moving Ahead, Eric J. Gouvin
Faculty Scholarship
As a result of several recent studies and changes in the ABA's Standards for Approval of Law Schools, legal education is paying more attention to skills training for law students. The need to bring the skills and values of business lawyers into the classroom has never been greater, yet there remains a real risk that "skills training" may be skewed in favor of litgation skills, with little emphasis given to transactional practice. This Article assesses some of the obstacles that stand in the way of effective integration of transactional skills into the law school curriculum and offers some concrete suggestions …
Who Gets To Be The Expert?: Legal Research Skills Certification In Legal Education, Richard Leiter
Who Gets To Be The Expert?: Legal Research Skills Certification In Legal Education, Richard Leiter
Marvin and Virginia Schmid Law Library
This article considers the question of whether there is a need for law schools to offer certification for specialization in legal research skills and discusses various approaches to legal research skills certification. The author argues that it is unnecessary to offer legal research certification as it is presupposed that a basic legal education should include instruction in how to find and read the law. Anything less is a failed legal education.
Exactly how special are legal research skills? Are they special enough to warrant certification? As a matter of fact, the act of legal researching is so intimately connected with …

The author talks about her changing perspectives on her experiences while working in Iraq with the International Human Rights Law Institute from February 2004 to Jan 1, 2006. The contract was initially proposed as a three-year plan to help Iraqi law schools overcome the effects of more than twenty years of economic, physical, and intellectual isolation. The complete project included a program for clinical legal education, curriculum reform, rule of law, and library and educational technology. Accomplishing this in three geographically dispersed schools was a logical plan, but a very ambitious one. As the security situation and travel restrictions worsened, …
