Seasons & Sea Changes: Weathering The Storm, An Encouraging Tale, Linda Ammons

Linda L. Ammons

Legal education is not immune to the realities of the marketplace. With declining applications, fewer jobs, and more and more demands from students, accrediting bodies, politicians, and employers (to name just a few), law schools and law deans are adjusting their expectations and programs to stay competitive and relevant. Managing the demands (realistic or not) of all of the constituencies who are a part of the greater law school universe, in good times, can be tricky. Trying to do so, when resources—some of which you control and others which you do not—are scarce can be complicated.

Vincentian Leadership—Advocating For Justice, Craig B. Mousin

Craig B. Mousin

DePaul University employs thousands of people. As Craig Mousin writes, “To do justice to those we seek to serve necessitates that we do justice to those who engage in our work.” He explores “the centrality of work to life and mission” (including the personal and individual missions employees have for themselves) and what justice in the workplace means.

Thinking About Presidents, John C. Yoo, Robert Delahunty

John C Yoo

Why are some Presidents great and others not? Does their attitude toward the Constitution have anything to do with it? What do legal scholars have to contribute to presidential studies? This paper reviews and uses data from the book "Presidential Leadership" to suggest possible relationships between presidential success and their approach to constitutional interpretation. It argues that the formalist versus functionalist debate over the separation of powers has reached a stalemate, and that constitutional law can gain by study of political science approaches to the Presidency. It also suggests that presidential studies, which views reliance on a president's constitutional powers …
