Educating Main Street Lawyers, Luz E. Herrera
Educating Main Street Lawyers, Luz E. Herrera
Faculty Scholarship
Discussion about the value of a law degree has focused on the financial success of lawyers. Both defenders and critics of the existing legal education model largely ignore the implications that the cost of legal education and high lawyer fees have on access to justice. While a lawyer’s ability to make a decent living must be addressed when determining the value of a legal education, we fail to take into account the fact that there are millions of individuals in the U.S. who cannot find a lawyer to represent them when they need one. For advocates who believe that our …
Justadvice: Studying Law In Snapshots, Brenda Bratton Blom, Leigh Maddox
Justadvice: Studying Law In Snapshots, Brenda Bratton Blom, Leigh Maddox
Faculty Scholarship
Access to legal services continues to be a critical need in the United States. Clinical programs in law schools are part of responding to the demand for these services, but often face the challenge of filling gaps left by larger programs serving the poor or responding to unique legal needs. JustAdvice was designed to provide limited advice to a broad range of people with legal needs, unbundling those services where possible. The story of the development, implementation and transformation of the program into a teaching, triage and referral system that importantly links multiple organizations and services is the core of …
Clark Kerr And Me: The Future Of The Public Law School, Rachel F. Moran
Clark Kerr And Me: The Future Of The Public Law School, Rachel F. Moran
Faculty Scholarship
Clark Kerr has long enjoyed an iconic status among leaders in public higher education. The former president of the University of California left a lasting impression on the academic world with his Godkin Lectures on the future of colleges and universities delivered at Harvard in 1963. He spoke at a moment when public higher education, and indeed higher education more generally, had been enjoying a renaissance of energy and vision. After World War II, veterans returned and reinvigorated the student body with the support of the GI Bill, and state legislatures generously funded public institutions to keep tuition low so …
When Intercultural Competency Comes To Class: Navigating Difference In The Modern American Law School, Rachel F. Moran
When Intercultural Competency Comes To Class: Navigating Difference In The Modern American Law School, Rachel F. Moran
Faculty Scholarship
There has been increased interest in intercultural competency training at American law schools. Implementing that training can be complicated by disagreements about the meaning of culture and the purpose of promoting intercultural competency. In professional schools, awareness of different cultures can be a way of fulfilling moral obligations as a global citizen or honing skills in a global economy. Even when a law school determines what it means by culture and why it wants to promote the training, there are different methods of inculcating intercultural competency. Clinical instructors already incorporate these concerns into their teaching and can provide useful insights …

The Teaching Of Procedure Across Common Law Systems, Erik S. Knusten, Thomas D. Rowe Jr., David Bamford, Shirley Shipman
The Teaching Of Procedure Across Common Law Systems, Erik S. Knusten, Thomas D. Rowe Jr., David Bamford, Shirley Shipman
Faculty Scholarship
What difference does the teaching of procedure make to legal education, legal scholarship, the legal profession, and civil justice reform? This first of four articles on the teaching of procedure canvasses the landscape of current approaches to the teaching of procedure in four legal systems—the United States, Canada, Australia, and England and Wales—surveying the place of procedure in the law school curriculum and in professional training, the kinds of subjects that “procedure” encompasses, and the various ways in which procedure is learned. Little sustained reflection has been carried out as to the import and impact of this longstanding law school …

Constructing Modern-Day U.S. Legal Education With Rhetoric: Langdell, Ames, And The Scholar Model Of The Law Professor Persona, Carlo A. Pedrioli
Constructing Modern-Day U.S. Legal Education With Rhetoric: Langdell, Ames, And The Scholar Model Of The Law Professor Persona, Carlo A. Pedrioli
Faculty Scholarship
This article explains how lawyers like Christopher Columbus Langdell and James Barr Ames, a disciple of Langdell, employed rhetoric between 1870, when Langdell assumed the deanship at Harvard Law School, and 1920, when law had emerged as a credible academic field in the United States, to construct a persona, that of a scholar, appropriate for the law professor situated within the university. To do so, the article contextualizes the rhetoric with historical background on the law professor and legal education, draws upon rhetorical theory to give an overview of persona theory and persona analysis as a means of conducting the …

Why Environmental Law Clinics?, Adam Babich, Jane F. Barrett
Why Environmental Law Clinics?, Adam Babich, Jane F. Barrett
Faculty Scholarship
The law clinic has become an increasingly important part of legal education, giving students the opportunity to learn practical skills as well as to internalize core legal values. Pedagogical concerns preclude clinics from letting fear of criticism drive decisions about how they represent clients. The legal profession's idealistic aspirations pose challenges, and political attacks have answered clinicians' efforts to live up to these aspirations. An error underlies such attacks, however: holding lawyers responsible for their clients' legal positions despite the profession's duty to ensure that such positions get a fair hearing.
