The Teaching Of Law In France, Claudine Bloch
The Teaching Of Law In France, Claudine Bloch
Dalhousie Law Journal
For a little over thirty years the teaching of law in France has conjured up the image of a vast expanse of land, the boundaries of which are continually being extended: the observer will see a succession of cultivated fields, plots of land which are constantly being tilled so that one wonders if they will ever bear a crop; but he will also see ground lying fallow which is coveted by the wealthy and the pioneers: they plough their furrows, which they then either abandon or untiringly plough even deeper or longer. These remarks, preceding the presentation of so serious …
Clinical Legal Education Through The Looking-Glass, M Kathryn Munn
Clinical Legal Education Through The Looking-Glass, M Kathryn Munn
Dalhousie Law Journal
This paper describes the implementation of a clinical legal education program at the University of Western Ontario. By coincidence, the paper was completed just as a major change in direction was unfolding in the program. The origin and purposes of clinical education I will leave to another occasion. Suffice it to say that my answer to the question, "does a law school need clinical education?", is a resounding "yes".
Western In The 1980'S, W B. Rayner
Western In The 1980'S, W B. Rayner
Dalhousie Law Journal
When one is asked to write on the development of one's faculty over a decade, the most difficult part of the task is simply to determine where to begin. After some thought, I came to the conclusion that the most appropriate starting point is the statement of the objective that appears in the "Dean's Message" contained in our Calendar. We state that our objective is "to offer students a liberal education through the critical study of legal and related materials in preparation for the private practice of law, for government service and for kindred vocations." In short, we wish to …
Legal Education In Saskatchewan 1982-1988, Daniel I. Ish
Legal Education In Saskatchewan 1982-1988, Daniel I. Ish
Dalhousie Law Journal
My predecessor in the office of dean, Don Clark, in an article in this Journal approximately six years ago, described in his usual eloquent fashion the development of the little law school on the prairie from its genesis in 1910. In these pages I will attempt to outline some of the developments in the College of Law during my six years as dean. I intend to adopt an intuitive, first-person narrative which, I hope, will not be too self-serving in its description of the College of Law between 1982 and 1988.
Moving Into Management From The Outside, Lynn Wishart
Moving Into Management From The Outside, Lynn Wishart
Library Staff Articles
When accepting a promotion from outside the organization, the new manager must understand what is being given up and left behind, and must also realize clearly what expectations the new library holds. In the new position, the outside manager must articulate goals and find common ground with supervisors and subordinates. The take-charge period should be used for judicious decision making and intense learning.
The Public Dimension In Legal Education, Mark R. Macguigan
The Public Dimension In Legal Education, Mark R. Macguigan
Dalhousie Law Journal
Legal education, while always a subject of fascination to law students and professors, only periodically becomes a matter of more general interest. But that is what I believe has happened in Canada in the mid-1980s as the result of three publishing events.
Canadian Criminal Jury Instructions, James P. Taylor
Canadian Criminal Jury Instructions, James P. Taylor
Dalhousie Law Journal
Canadian Criminal Jury Instructions ("CRIMJI") is an ambitious project. The authors, the Honourable Mr. Justice John Bouck (of the Supreme Court of British Columbia) and Professor Gerry Ferguson (of the Faculty of Law, University of Victoria) set out to provide a book that will "assist Canadian judges and Canadian lawyers in drafting and delivering a charge to a jury in a criminal case". The authors' twovolume work handily accomplishes this objective.
Health Law At The Turn Of The Century: From White Dwarf To Red Giant, George J. Annas
Health Law At The Turn Of The Century: From White Dwarf To Red Giant, George J. Annas
Faculty Scholarship
The evolution of stars is inexorable. From the form in which we currently view our own Sun, it and similar stars eventually expand as their exteriors cool to become red giants. When a red giant runs out of fuel, its exposed core will collapse to form a degenerate white dwarf and, eventually, a dead black dwarf.1 Health law, as a discipline worthy of our attention, seems to have an opposite trajectory: from black dwarf to white dwarf, it is now on its way to becoming a red giant. The relevance of health law and the reasons for its exponentially …

Finding Yourself In Law School, Joel Jay Finer
Finding Yourself In Law School, Joel Jay Finer
Cleveland State Law Review
Congratulations on your acceptance and your decision to enter law school. Some might say after reading this commentary that it was more appropriate for a commencement address. But stop to think. Commencement means beginning. This is your commencement, the beginning of your legal career. And if the values to which I refer are not somewhere in your thoughts during your law school education, when you can begin to see how your technical skills can be put to use in service of whatever justice goals you personally find most meaningful, it may be more difficult to make the connections later on. …

The Revolution In American Law Schools, David R. Barnhizer
The Revolution In American Law Schools, David R. Barnhizer
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
There is a continuing revolution in American law schools that is transforming legal scholarship, teaching, and the structure of the curriculum. The revolution is altering the law schools' relationships with the legal profession and judiciary. The revolution has not been contained within the schools, in part because it is being stimulated by events and sources outside the law schools with the schools being reactive rather than proactive institutions. This article examines the ten primary forces behind the revolution in American law schools.
