The End(S) Of Legal Education, Frank H. Wu Jan 2016

The End(S) Of Legal Education, Frank H. Wu

Faculty Scholarship

As a consequence, schools have had to implement “tuition discounting” at unprecedented levels even to enroll fewer individuals who are less qualified by conventional predictors. Meanwhile, the mainstream press, with encouragement from the organized bar, has excoriated the legal academy for its failures, whether real or perceived. These critics have wondered about the “return on investment.”

Collaborative Research Networks ("CRNs") developed to encourage and facilitate and collaboration between scholars with shared academic interests. CRN33 (East Asia) is fairly new.

The author emphasizes that scholars in the field of East Asian legal studies should work harder to introduce those outside the field to the …
