A Cultural Lens In The Law School Classroom: A Technique To Promote A Learner-Centered Environment And To Stimulate Self-Assessment, Julie M. Spanbauer
Julie M. Spanbauer

Yet, many legal educators appear to be resistant to and fearful of change, in part, perhaps, due to their comfort with teaching methods such as the Socratic or case dialogue approach, which demands little accountability for teaching effectiveness and provides more time for the pursuit of the traditional goals of scholarly productivity. This method of teaching as currently utilized in law schools is also innately professor-centric performance …
