Why does the church have law schools?
The title I was given for this talk during the Marquette Conference of March, 1994, was "the mission of the religiously affiliated law school." The title raises the possibility that the church has a law school in order to carry out a mission. The church does not get its mission from the state or the civil community. The only workable meaning of the title I was given is that each of our law schools has a mission from God.
If the assignment of mission comes from the civil community or the state, the …
Some Thoughts On A More Humanist And Equitable Legal Education, A. Wayne Mackay
Some Thoughts On A More Humanist And Equitable Legal Education, A. Wayne Mackay
Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press
This article starts with the premise that all teaching is a communication of values between student and teacher. An important challenge in confronting law is making it more inclusive and equitable. A critical step in this process is first recognizing one's own biases. Only then will genuine dialogue about the inherent biases in the legal profession and in law schools be possible. Making law schools more inclusive entails not only superficial changes, but an examination of what is taught, how it is taught and how students are evaluated.

Stuck Inside The Heartland With Those Coastline Clerking Blues Again, Carl W. Tobias
Law Faculty Publications
Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, Circuit Judge Edward Becker, and Circuit Judge Guido Calabresi deserve kudos for helping to craft, implement, and publicize an efficacious solution to the increasing difficulties engendered by the selection of federal judicial law clerks. The jurists' essay, The Federal Judicial Law Clerk Hiring Problem and the Modest March 1 Solution, which recently appeared in the Yale Law Journal, is a must read for all those who participate in the process of law clerk hiring.
The concerted efforts of Justice Breyer and Judges Becker and Calabresi have apparently succeeded in bringing considerable order out of chaos, …

Pretrial Practice: Teaching Law Students How To Prepare Cases For Trial In A Simulation Course, Lloyd B. Snyder
Pretrial Practice: Teaching Law Students How To Prepare Cases For Trial In A Simulation Course, Lloyd B. Snyder
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
With a colleague, Jack Guttenberg, I team-teach a four-credit, one-semester simulation course at the Cleveland-Marshall College of Law called Pretrial Practice. We have taught Pretrial Practice seven times since we first offered it in the spring of 1988. The course takes students through the process of preparing two cases for trial, beginning with initial client interviews and culminating in one case with a settlement negotiation and, in the other, a final pretrial conference with a local judge.Pretrial Practice provides students with an opportunity, in one semester, to engage in all the activities necessary to develop and prepare a case for …
Of Rat Time And Terminators, David R. Barnhizer
Of Rat Time And Terminators, David R. Barnhizer
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
A version of rat time is being created within the legal profession as law schools pump 40,000 graduates a year into a saturated system. Understanding our present condition as a period of rat time can help us diagnose the problems of the legal profession, identify the future responsibilities of law schools and the profession, and create more effective solutions than the bandaids that have been proposed or applied thus far. This is particularly important because lawyers and law schools have lost their way. They are afraid to address their most troubling problems and to take the principled actions necessary for …

Business Lawyers And Value Creation For Clients, Ronald J. Gilson, Robert H. Mnookin
Faculty Scholarship
This Symposium marks an important milestone in legal scholarship and education: The spotlight falls on business lawyers for a change. Ten years ago, when one of us first wrote about what business lawyers really do, no one had devoted much attention to this part of the profession. In his broadside against lawyers, Derek Bok, then President of Harvard University and formerly dean of its law school, reserved his invective for litigators and the litigation process. Business lawyers captured the attention of very few critics; even on the unusual occasion when we were noticed, the criticism was at least funny. If …
Contextualizing Professional Responsibility: A New Curriculum For A New Century Teaching Legal Ethics: Iv. Developing Specialized Ethics Courses, Mary C. Daly, Bruce A. Green, Russell G. Pearce
Contextualizing Professional Responsibility: A New Curriculum For A New Century Teaching Legal Ethics: Iv. Developing Specialized Ethics Courses, Mary C. Daly, Bruce A. Green, Russell G. Pearce
Faculty Scholarship
The teaching of professional responsibility in U.S. law schools is entering a new age. A relative newcomer to the traditional curriculum, professional responsibility has struggled over the past twenty-one years to establish its intellectual legitimacy. It has evolved from a cramped course on the codes of lawyer conduct adopted by the American Bar Association ("ABA") to an expansive course on the law of lawyering. The premise of this essay is that professional responsibility has matured as a subject matter to the point where a new genre of courses should join the pervasive method and the traditional survey course. The richness …
Enriching The Legal Ethics Curriculum: From Requirement To Desire, Heidi Li Feldman
Enriching The Legal Ethics Curriculum: From Requirement To Desire, Heidi Li Feldman
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
The problem has become all too familiar: Acting at least in part from noble motives, the American Bar Association ("ABA") requires all law students at ABA-accredited law schools to take a course in "professional responsibility." Every accredited school offers a course or courses that enable students to fulfill this requirement. Under these circumstances, the professional responsibility course can easily assume the character of high school drivers' education or health classes: It often becomes an obligatory exercise, in which students think they must woodenly learn the maxims of the ABA Code of Conduct or Rules of Professional Responsibility. Faced with this …

Profiling Minority Law Librarians: A Report On The 1992-93 Survey, Dwight B. King, Rhea A-L Ballard, Helena Lai, Grace M. Mills
Journal Articles
The authors present a demographic and professional profile of AALL minority law librarian members based upon responses to a detailed survey that elicited information about work experience and skills, professional activities and participation, and career aspirations. The results lead the authors to suggest some recruitment strategies to increase diversity in law librarianship and the level of minority participation in AALL.

The Profession Of Law: Columbia Law School's Use Of Experiential Learning Techniques To Teach Professional Responsibility, Carol B. Liebman
Faculty Scholarship
Columbia Law School's ethics course, "The Profession of Law" ("POL"), is an interactive, experiential exploration of lawyer ethics. The course, required for all third-year students, is taught on an intensive basis during the first week of the fall semester. It begins on Monday morning, the first day of the semester, and runs through mid-afternoon on the following Friday. The course has five goals: to introduce students to the rules that govern professional conduct; to help them develop an analytic framework for making ethical decisions in those broad areas where the rules do not give clear answers; to provoke them to …

It is very hard for me to get used to the idea that Banks McDowell is retiring from teaching. He and I were colleagues at Boston University more than two decades ago, and I knew him to be a devoted and conscientious person deeply committed to the enterprise of teaching. Banks had great affection for his students, and he took delight in whatever he was able to do to enlarge their horizons.
