Affirmative Action On Law Reviews: An Empirical Study Of Its Status And Effect, Frederick Ramos

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This Note discusses the issues involved in affirmative action on law reviews. Part I examines law review affirmative action admissions schemes and alternative types of affirmative action programs. Part II considers the arguments supporting and opposing the implementation of affirmative action programs by law reviews. Part III presents the results of a survey of law reviews concerning affirmative action. This Note concludes that affirmative action programs are the most effective means of increasing minority membership on law reviews, but that law reviews may increase minority membership through other methods.

Educating Men And Women For Service Through Law: Osgoode Hall Law School 1963-1988, Mary Jane Mossman

Dalhousie Law Journal

My work... has assumed the shape of ... a spiral curriculum, circling around the same issues, though trying to keep them open-ended. This statement was penned by Northrop Frye in Spiritus Mundi in the context of reflections about creativity and literary criticism, but it aptly describes as well the intellectual ferment of writing about legal education in Canada during the past few decades. Indeed, Frye's suggestion that the above quotation "may be only a rationalization for not having budged an inch in eighteen years ' may similarly offer an important clue about the legal education debate in Canada and the …

The Teaching Of The Law Of Thailand, Ted L. Mcdorman

Dalhousie Law Journal

Within the last few years Canada has begun to realize that it is a Pacific Rim country with substantial connections and interests in Asia. As part of this awakening Canadian interest in Asian affairs the Faculty of Law at the University of Victoria decided to develop and offer a course entitled "Legal Issues in Southeast Asia", with the hope that such a course would provide a forum for a systematic, informed comparison of the legal systems of Asia.

The Anatomy Of A Leading Case: Lawrence V. Fox In The Courts, The Casebooks, And The Commentaries, M. H. Hoeflich, E. Perelmuter

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

In spite of the wide diversity of training, practice, and location of lawyers throughout the United States, virtually all share one experience: the standard core curriculum of the first year of law school taught by the case method. The extent to which that experience in parsing cases in contracts, torts, and property shapes the American legal mentality is open to debate, but it undeniably has an impact. The first-year experience socializes law students in the culture of the law. During this period, students learn the language of the law and the ways that lawyers think. During this period, too, students …

Teaching Professional Responsibility In Law School, Alvin Esau

Dalhousie Law Journal

After eight years of teaching a three-credit course on The Legal Profession and Professional Responsibility to second- and third-year law students, I am left with a sense of great dissatisfaction with the whole enterprise. So deep is my dissatisfaction that I am questioning whether to continue or move into a different course instead. This paper is an opportunity to take stock of my experience and attempt to map out the causes of my dissatisfaction, and to seek some vision, if possible, of what the course should be about, how to teach it, and why I should bother. To give the …

Redesigning The Spouse's Forced Share: A Proposal, John H. Langbein, Lawrence W. Waggoner

Law Quadrangle (formerly Law Quad Notes)

The following article is adapted from Langbein and Waggoner, Redesigning the Spouse's Forced Share, 22 Real Property, Probate & Trust Journal 303 (1987). The Joint Editorial Board for the Uniform Probate Code recently accepted in principle the idea for redesigning the elective share presented in that article. Legislative language incorporating the authors' proposals has been approved by the Joint Editorial Board and will soon be submitted to the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws for official inclusion in the Uniform Probate Code.

How To Do A Perpetuities Problem, John Makdisi

Cleveland State Law Review

The most difficult aspect of the rule against perpetuities is figuring out a sure-fire way to determine whether an interest created in a conveyance is valid or invalid. The meaning of the rule itself is not hard to fathom. Whenever the interest might vest too remotely it is invalid, and it becomes possible to vest remotely if there is a chance that it could vest more than twenty-one years after everyone alive at the time of the conveyance has died. Whether the interest violates the rule against perpetuities is determined at the moment the conveyance creating the interest becomes effective. …

Coping With Change: The Lawyer's Role, Wilton S. Sogg

Cleveland State Law Review

The following articles are the result of an experimental course entitled "Current Problems of Small Business" offered at Cleveland-Marshall College of Law. Primarily for third-year students, the course was designed to provide a practical learning experience in seminar format. The course focused on business issues, but also taught lawyering skills such as interviewing, counseling, negotiating and drafting. Thus, the students were provided a pragmatic learning experience that can be applied to legal practice.
