Curriculum Mapping: Bringing Evidence-Based Frameworks To Legal Education, Debra Moss Curtis, David M. Moss
Faculty Scholarship
This article explains the concept of curriculum mapping as used in the education profession and explains how it was applied in a mapping initiative at the NSU Law Center. Curriculum mapping is a process by which education professionals “document their own curriculum, then share and examine each other’s curriculums for gaps, overlaps, redundancies and new learning, creating a coherent, consistent, curriculum within and across areas that is ultimately aligned to standards and responsive to student data and other initiatives.” While this process has been used for many years in other areas of education, it is fairly new to legal education. …

Lrw Program Design: A Manifesto For The Future, Eric Easton
Lrw Program Design: A Manifesto For The Future, Eric Easton
All Faculty Scholarship
All of us have, at one time or another, had occasion to consider, or reconsider, our program model. The trigger may have been a new dean; the prospect of a sabbatical inspection; a budget crisis or financial windfall; a faculty champion or saboteur; some-thing we learned at a Legal Writing Institute (LWI) or Association of Legal Writing Directors conference; or merely the cycle of bureaucratic reorganization. Those reconsiderations have led to a great diversity of Legal Research and Writing (LRW) program models: two-, three-, four-, and all-semester programs; adjunct-, contract-, and tenure-track staffing; and directors, co-directors, and no directors. Reconsiderations …
Japan’S Legal Education Reforms From An American Law Professor’S Perspective, Jeffrey Lubbers
Japan’S Legal Education Reforms From An American Law Professor’S Perspective, Jeffrey Lubbers
Reports
This paper describes and analyzes Japan’s reform of legal education. This reform that began in 2004—a new system of legal education, coupled with changes in the national bar examination and in the national legal training institute for successful exam-takers—was part of a wideranging national law reform movement in Japan. As a result, 74 universities across Japan established graduate-level “law schools,” most of which were added to pre-existing undergraduate law departments. The new law schools provide a degree equivalent to an American Juris Doctor (JD) degree. These law degrees became the main prerequisite for taking the national bar exam. The pass …
Levinas, Law Schools And The Poor: They Stand Over Us, Marie A. Failinger
Levinas, Law Schools And The Poor: They Stand Over Us, Marie A. Failinger
Marie A. Failinger
The philosopher Emmanuel Levinas has written about the ethics of the Face and our responsibility to the Other who is standing over us, demanding that we respond to his need and his welcome. This essay, which is written in Levinasan style, challenges the complacency of most American law schools in response to the plight of the poor. It proposes ways in which the law school curriculum, space and programs can be re-configured to bring the poor into community with legal educators and students.

From Judge To Dean: Reflections On The Bench And The Academy, David F. Levi
From Judge To Dean: Reflections On The Bench And The Academy, David F. Levi
Faculty Scholarship
In July of 2007, having served nearly seventeen years as a United States District Judge with chambers in Sacramento, California, I moved to Durham, North Carolina, to become the fourteenth dean of the Duke University Law School. I would concede that in the grand scheme of things such a transition must be deemed unremarkable. Lawyers have become soldiers, presidents, artists, and inn keepers. Judges have left the bench to do much the same. Nonetheless, in the somewhat closed worlds of the federal bench and the legal academy, at a time when the two worlds have seemed to drift apart, such …
Doing Good While Doing Deals: Early Lesson In Launching An International Transactions Clinic, Deborah Burand
Doing Good While Doing Deals: Early Lesson In Launching An International Transactions Clinic, Deborah Burand
Articles
That is not to say that the launch of this clinic was easy. Four of the most challenging issues the ITC faced in its first year of operation were: 1) developing a client pool, 2) defining client projects so as to be appropriate to student clinicians’ skill levels and capacity, 3) making use of efficient and inexpensive technology to foster international communication with clients and transaction management, and 4) tapping supervisory attorney talent capable of supporting student clinicians in their international transactional work. The first two issues were the biggest challenges that we faced in launching the ITC and so …
One Student’S Thoughts On Law School Clinics, Jeffrey Ward
One Student’S Thoughts On Law School Clinics, Jeffrey Ward
Faculty Scholarship
Law school offers few opportunities for students to move beyond the ink and paper law of textbooks to see the actual effects of real law on real communities. Because law school clinics offer a rare opportunity for students to see the real and imperfect law-in-action, the import of immersive clinical experiences on the education of tomorrow's lawyers is inestimable. Through clinics, students learn how the law really works, witness its power and its shortcomings, and ideally begin to envision what shape the law ought to take. Expressing a student's perspective on how to make the most of the extraordinary opportunity …

The Pedagogy Of The Old Case Method: A Tribute To “Bull” Warren, Paul D. Carrington
Faculty Scholarship
First in a series of occasional features, "Legends of the Legal Academy," focused on law teachers whose lessons and teaching style left an enduring imprint on their students, their institutions, and the profession. This essay is a modification of a comment on Duncan Kennedy's youthful assault on the legal education that he had recently experienced, Legal Education and the Reproduction of Hierarchy: A Polemic Against the System (1983). Kennedy's book was republished in 2003 by the New York University Press, with Prof. Carrington's comment as an addendum to its republication.

Launch Of An International Transactions Clinic: Doing Good While Doing Deals, Deborah Burand
Articles
September 2008 marked the launch of the International Transactions Clinic (ITC) at the University of Michigan Law School, the first legal clinic of its kind to combine an international and transactional focus. As Law School Dean Evan Caminker said upon the launch of the ITC, “[t]his is an exciting opportunity to involve a new generation of bright legal minds in cross-border transactions that will train our students for a lifetime of international business dealings, and that can also make an enormous difference in the lives of people in the developing world.”
