Teaching Ethics In An Atmosphere Of Skepticism And Relativism, W. Bradley Wendel
Teaching Ethics In An Atmosphere Of Skepticism And Relativism, W. Bradley Wendel
Cornell Law Faculty Publications
I would like to do several things in this essay. First, I am interested in the sources of students' wariness about moral reasoning and claims about objectivity and truth in ethics. Sometimes I feel like a teacher of geography who must confront a deeply entrenched belief that the earth is flat. The earth is not flat, nor is ethics just a matter of opinion, but one wonders why students persist in thinking the opposite. Teaching effectively requires an understanding of where students are coming from. Accordingly, the opening section of this essay is structured around a series of hypotheses to …

Ranking And Explaining The Scholarly Impact Of Law Schools, Theodore Eisenberg, Martin T. Wells
Cornell Law Faculty Publications
This article measures 32 law schools' academic reputations by citations to their faculties' works. Yale, Chicago, Harvard, and Stanford rank alone at the top. Seven or eight schools compose the next group. We also explore the relation between scholarly impact and entry-level or lateral hire status, gender, minority status, subjects taught, and years in teaching. Lateral hires systematically outperform entry-level hires. We find no substantial evidence of male-female differences. We find some evidence of lower citations for minority females, but this difference is largely attributable to those in teaching fewer than 8 years. For faculty members in teaching more than …

The Future Of Law Librarians In Changing Institutions, Or The Hazards And Opportunities Of New Information Technology, Peter W. Martin
Cornell Law Faculty Publications
It is uncontroverted that a major technological shift in the delivery of legal information is well underway. What will be the effects of these changes on law librarians and, more importantly, what opportunities will the changes create? Professor Martin suggests several opportunities stemming from the distinctive competencies of law librarians.

The State Of Trial Advocacy And Legal Education: Three New Studies, Roger C. Cramton, Erik M. Jensen
The State Of Trial Advocacy And Legal Education: Three New Studies, Roger C. Cramton, Erik M. Jensen
Cornell Law Faculty Publications
The appearance of three recent studies- two of trial judges’ perceptions of trial lawyers’ performance and one of law schools graduates’ perceptions of the utility of legal training- provides an opportunity to reevaluate the state of lawyer competence and the effect of law schools on that competence. With increased pressures in the profession for reformation of law school curricula, including the prescription of particular subjects, separation of the imagined failings of law schools from the genuine deficiencies has become increasingly important.
