Incorporating Social Justice Into The Law School Curriculum With A Hybrid Doctrinal/Writing Course, 50 J. Marshall L. Rev. 221 (2017), Rosa Castello

UIC Law Review

Educating future lawyers is about more than just teaching them substantive law. We are preparing professionals who will go out into our world and shape and affect it in deep and impacting ways. They will make law, enforce law, determine policy, defend people, advocate, and influence lives and businesses. Therefore, any thorough law school education should teach social justice and encourage students to become more engaged in activism. One way to incorporate social justice into the law school curriculum is to offer specific courses focused on social justice.

Part III …


Beyond The ‘Resiliency’ And ‘Grit’ Narrative In Legal Education: Race, Class, And Gender Considerations, 50 J. Marshall L. Rev. 271 (2017), Christian Sundquist Jan 2017

Beyond The ‘Resiliency’ And ‘Grit’ Narrative In Legal Education: Race, Class, And Gender Considerations, 50 J. Marshall L. Rev. 271 (2017), Christian Sundquist

UIC Law Review

The narrative on modifying legal education to produce entrepreneurial students with resiliency and “grit,” however, often has a troubling class and race-regarding dimension. This Essay argues that the “grit” reform initiative has the potential to rationalize future disparities, by shifting the focus from responding to the continuing impact of poverty and identity bias on student outcomes to bolstering individual character traits and resiliency. Our country has a long and troubling history of adopting such post-oppression “distancing moves” in order to discount the effect that systemic bias has on inequality, including disparate legal outcomes, by focusing solely on personal responsibility and …
