Heart And Soul: A New Rhythm For Clinical Externships, Leslie Larkin Cooney Jan 2005

Heart And Soul: A New Rhythm For Clinical Externships, Leslie Larkin Cooney

St. Thomas Law Review

The message of Therapeutic Jurisprudence is simple - focus on emotional life and psychological well-being and practice law as a healing profession - but the application of Therapeutic Jurisprudence to clinical teaching can have far ranging results. "Lawyers trained to be professionals have not been trained in how to respond to the anxiety, hurt feelings, and other emotions ... ," Law students arriving today in our clinical education settings require extra attention to the development of interpersonal skills for a variety of reasons. This article explores the concepts and development of Therapeutic Jurisprudence and outlines the benefits derived from incorporating …

Practicing (And Teaching) Therapeutic Jurisprudence: Importing Social Work Principles And Techniques Into Clinical Legal Education, Susan L. Brooks Jan 2005

Practicing (And Teaching) Therapeutic Jurisprudence: Importing Social Work Principles And Techniques Into Clinical Legal Education, Susan L. Brooks

St. Thomas Law Review

Practicing Therapeutic Jurisprudence ("TJ") requires proponents to advance a particular normative framework. As a clinical social worker turned lawyer, who is now also a clinical law teacher, I believe strongly that the field of social work provides a useful framework for legal education and practice. As I will demonstrate through examples from my teaching and my students' practice experiences, the role of the clinical law teacher is uniquely and well suited to apply social work values, principles, concepts, and techniques. By importing these core social work elements into the clinical legal education, faculty can truly teach future lawyers to practice …

An Experiment In Integrating Critical Theory And Clinical Education, Margaret E. Johnson Jan 2005

An Experiment In Integrating Critical Theory And Clinical Education, Margaret E. Johnson

All Faculty Scholarship

Critical theory is important in live-client clinical teaching as a means to achieve the pedagogical goals of clinical education. Feminist legal theory, critical race theory, and poverty law theory serve as useful frameworks to enable students to deconstruct assumptions they, persons within institutions, and broader society make about the students' clients and their lives. Critical theory highlights the importance of looking for both the "obvious and non-obvious relationships of domination." Thus, critical theory informs students of the presence and importance of alternative voices that challenge the dominant discourse. When student attorneys ignore or are unaware of such voices, other voices …

Professional Responsibility Redesigned: Sparking A Dialogue Between Students And The Bar, Lois R. Lupica Jan 2005

Professional Responsibility Redesigned: Sparking A Dialogue Between Students And The Bar, Lois R. Lupica

Faculty Publications

In recent years, there have been many public and private, formal and informal complaints about the behavior of lawyers. Moreover, lawyers' tenuous reputation for honesty and integrity has been tarnished by recent, well-publicized scandals. The public, as well as members of the bench and bar, have further decried a decline in attorney professionalism. More than once, it has been suggested that in some way, failings of law schools are to blame. In response to these observations about the professional behavior of lawyers and as a result of the author's experiences of teaching a traditional, Socratic-method Professional Responsibility class for many …

Why Print And Electronic Resources Are Essential To The Academic Law Library, Michelle M. Wu Jan 2005

Why Print And Electronic Resources Are Essential To The Academic Law Library, Michelle M. Wu

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

Libraries have supported multiple formats for decades, from paper and microforms to audiovisual tapes and CDs. However, the newest medium, digital transmission, has presented a wider scope of challenges and caused library patrons to question the established and recognized multiformat library. Within the many questions posed, two distinct ones echo repeatedly. The first doubts the need to sustain print in an increasingly digital world, and the second warns of the dangers of relying on a still-developing technology. This article examines both of these positions and concludes that abandoning either format would translate into a failure of service to patrons, both …
