The Lawyer As Legal Scholar, Michael J. Madison Jan 2003

The Lawyer As Legal Scholar, Michael J. Madison

Articles

I review Eugene Volokh's recent book, Academic Legal Writing.

These additional degrees of freedom, however, also threaten to overwhelm students. If casebook authors and instructors are to achieve their pedagogical goals, they will need new methods for guiding students. This paper presents three such methods developed in an intelligent tutoring environment for engaging students in legal role-playing, making abstract concepts explicit and manipulable, and supporting pedagogical dialogues. This environment is built around a program known as CATO, which employs artificial intelligence techniques to teach first-year law students how to make basic legal arguments with cases. …
