Actively Achieving Greater Racial Equity In Law School Classrooms, Catherine Bramble, Rory Bahadur
Actively Achieving Greater Racial Equity In Law School Classrooms, Catherine Bramble, Rory Bahadur
Cleveland State Law Review
2020 illustrated the ongoing pervasiveness of implicit and explicit racism in our society. Less well-acknowledged and recognized is the extent to which Socratic pedagogy also reflects those pervasive racist realities while simultaneously resulting in inferior learning based on a teaching method invented 150+ years ago. Despite this racist and outdated reality, the legal academy has been reluctant to alter the traditional method of teaching. Tangible, empirical evidence obtained from data-driven cognitive learning science research demonstrates that active learning not only improves learning outcomes for all students, but also mitigates the structural effects of racism in the classroom thereby increasing racial …
Is Law A Discipline? Forays Into Academic Culture, Gene R. Shreve
Is Law A Discipline? Forays Into Academic Culture, Gene R. Shreve
Cleveland State Law Review
This Article explores academic culture. It addresses the reluctance in academic circles to accord law the full stature of a discipline. It forms doubts that have been raised into a series of four criticisms. Each attacks an academic feature of law, inviting the question: Is law different from the rest of the university in a way damaging its stature as an academic discipline? The Article concludes that, upon careful examination of each criticism, none establishes a difference between law and other disciplines capable of damaging law’s stature.

Cleveland State Law Review
The purpose of these few paragraphs will be to look for a quick moment at the law teacher's job as it appears both in retrospect and prospect to one whose law school teaching spans more than forty years and whose fortunate experience at working with other jobs in the law has given him reason to appreciate mightily the happy chance that led him as a youth into the teaching branch of the legal profession.
Random Gripes Of A Law Professor, Marcus Schoenfeld
Random Gripes Of A Law Professor, Marcus Schoenfeld
Cleveland State Law Review
Let use begin at the beginning-the "slave markets." Everyone, both "buyers" and "sellers," agree that it's an exhausting, demeaning,and inefficient way to hire professors. But the art form remains remarkably constant, since no better means of mass matchmaking has yet been devised. Possibly we should adopt the British system, requiring all schools to advertise their openings in the Times classified section. More likely, we will start computerizing to remove the last vestiges of humanity from the system. But until the system is basically changed, why not try to smooth out some rough spots?
Then And Now: A Bit Of Autobiography And An Argument, Vernon X. Miller
Then And Now: A Bit Of Autobiography And An Argument, Vernon X. Miller
Cleveland State Law Review
I am old enough to give my younger colleagues (and a few of my contemporaries) some advice. Study the 1920's. They were a law teachers' decade. Even you, honestly sophisticated as you are, can find out how the profession got to where it is. No one of us can afford to stop growing. The profession needs you as lawyers because the profession is under siege. The university schools need you as lawyers because the schools just could forfeit their power in the profession.
