Accepting The 1997 Aals Section On Clinical Legal Education Award For Outstanding Contributions To Clinical Legal Education, Awarded To Edgar S. Cahn And Jean Camper Cahn (Posthumously), Edgar S. Cahn, Clinical Law Review

Clinical Law Review

It is difficult to speak briefly of the extraordinary accomplishments of Edgar S. Cahn and Jean Camper Cahn in the fields of poverty law, human rights, and clinical legal education. These achievements, described eloquently by the University of the District of Columbia School of Law Faculty in their unanimous nomination of the Cahns for the Section's Award, have decisively shaped the meaning of the law for generations of lawyers and clients. The very existence of the legal services program, threatened though it is today, owes a great deal to the work of the Cahns, including their pathbreaking 1964 article, "The …

Subjunctive Lawyering And Other Clinical Extern Paradigms, Kate E. Bloch

Clinical Law Review

Every decision in legal practice contains an ethics component. Legal education must, therefore, prepare prospective lawyers to recognize and resolve these ethical issues in a principled manner. Because law students who participate in live-client clinical programs become both observers and direct actors in the ethics of legal decisions, the clinical experience provides an intensely motivating and uniquely concrete opportunity to teach and learn legal ethics. Enhancing student perception and understanding of legal ethics represents a nearly universal goal of clinical teachers. The clinician's emphasis, the student's pre-existing ethics consciousness, and the immersion in the immediacy of live lawyering prompt students …

Testing The Grades: Evaluating Grading Models In Clinical Legal Education, Stacy L. Brustin, David F. Chavkin

Clinical Law Review

In 1994, the JOURNAL OF LEGAL EDUCATION published a survey of grading practices at law schools across the United States. That survey revealed a mix of grading approaches for clinical programs. 31 percent of all clinical courses used a fully-graded model; 33 percent graded students on a pass/fail basis; and 16 percent utilized both graded and pass/fail models. The article did not attempt to evaluate qualitatively the effectiveness of the various grading models. At about the same time that this article was published, clinicians teaching in Columbus Community Legal Services (CCLS) of The Catholic University of America were reconsidering the …

Striving To Teach "Justice, Fairness, And Morality", Jane Harris Aiken

Clinical Law Review

By far the most challenging value is the injunction to strive to promote justice, fairness, and morality. Arguably, the first value, the provision of competent representation, can be fostered by effective skills training. The third value, striving to improve the profession, can be fostered through active participation in the Bar. The fourth value, professional self-development, appears to be mainly concerned with effective Continuing Legal Education programs that enhance lawyers' ability to learn through experience. Yet methods of promoting the second value are not only less obvious than they are for the other three values, but also more difficult. The MacCrate …

A Field Trip To Benetton ... And Beyond: Some Thoughts On "Outsider Narrative" In A Law School Clinic, Carolyn Grose

Clinical Law Review

One of the goals of clinicians as teachers is to train law students to listen to, hear and retell their clients' stories. This task is complicated by the fact that the students - who are for the most part white and middle-class, and by definition college-educated - inhabit a world vastly different from - indeed some might say diametrically opposed to - the world inhabited by the clinic's client population, which generally tends to be poor people with a limited education, and for the most part people of color. Given these differences, students' ability to hear and believe their clients' …

The Bounds Of Professionalism: Challenging Our Students; Challenging Ourselves, Beverly Balos

Clinical Law Review

Professor Aiken, in her article Striving to Teach "Justice, Fairness, and Morality," recognizes the importance of integrating the "analysis of difference into traditional courses to ensure that students begin the life-long process of examining their exercise of privilege and develop an appreciation of the professional value of striving for justice, fairness, and morality." Her article sets out a pedagogical approach to legal education with the goal of constructing a learning experience that maximizes reflection and unmasks privilege. Aiken's article raises important issues for all of us concerned with legal education and the competent representation of clients. Focusing first on the …

Voicing Differences, Margaret E. Montoya

Clinical Law Review

Jane Aiken and Kimberly O'Leary undertake the difficult work of developing specific approaches and techniques for taking account of characteristics such as race/ethnicity, gender, dis/ability, and sexual identity in clinical pedagogy. Carolyn Grose uses outsider narratives and popular culture to challenge the "pre-understanding" of students, and to assist them to accept client stories as true and valid. Focusing on the professional value of striving to promote justice, fairness, and morality identified in the MacCrate Report, Professor Aiken exhorts us to promote justice by unmasking privilege, the invisible package of unearned assets- about which I (we? or you?) was "meant" to …

Fuzzy Thinking: A Borrowed Paradigm For Crisper Lawyering, David F. Chavkin

Clinical Law Review

The answer to Ed's question is that by applying bivalent or crisp thinking Catherine has reached an apparently unresolvable paradox. By contrast, by applying fuzzy thinking, Ed has found a real-life answer to this longstanding problem. Fuzzy logic thereby has bridged a gap and permitted a waltz that would not otherwise have been possible. On that basis alone, fuzzy logic deserves a careful examination. This article analyzes whether the "fuzzy thinking" paradigm has potential benefits for our clinical teaching and for improved performance of lawyering tasks by ourselves and by our students. It reviews the development of "fuzzy thinking" and …

Small Business And Community Economic Development: Transactional Lawyering For Social Change And Economic Justice, Susan R. Jones

Clinical Law Review

Small business and community economic development (CED) clinics represent an important and growing component to the future of clinical legal education. The national political trend is away from government entitlements and toward personal responsibility and economic self-sufficiency. This shift has encouraged the growth of more small business and CED clinics at law schools. This article analyzes the benefits to clinical legal education of these transactional clinics' in contrast to more traditional clinics by exploring these clinics contribution to the development of the skills and values sought to be taught through clinical legal education. Part I explains the importance of microbusinesses …

My Summer Vacation: Reflections On Becoming A Critical Lawyer And Teacher, Minna J. Kotkin

Clinical Law Review

I've spent my summer "vacation" reading wonderful articles by clinicians, critical legal theorists, and fellow travellers about lawyering and teaching for an anthology I'm editing, entitled Critical Lawyering. Having dumped my caseload on my long suffering colleague, I've had a bit of time to do what I'm always asking of my students, but do so little of myself: reflect upon how to be a better lawyer. Given all of this theory that I supposedly have mastered, have I actually changed the way I do things? What do I do differently? I've concluded that my teaching and lawyering have changed over …

Pitfalls In Tests For Changes In Correlations, Brian H. Boyer, Michael S. Gibson, Mico Loretan

Faculty Publications

Correlations are crucial for pricing and hedging derivatives whose payoff depends on more than one asset. Typically, correlations computed separately for ordinary and stressful market conditions differ considerably, a pattern widely termed "correlation breakdown." As a result, risk managers worry that their hedges will be useless when they are most needed, namely during "stressful" market situations. We show that such worries may not be justified since "correlation breakdowns" can easily be generated by data whose distribution is stationary and, in particular, whose correlation coefficient is constant. We make this point analytically, by way of several numerical examples, and via an …

Stem Cell Factor And Kit Expression In Type I Neurofibromatosis, Kenneth Eugene Roth

Theses and Dissertations

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an inherited disease characterized by the appearance of multiple neurofibromas and an increased incidence of malignant schwannomas, both of which contain hyperproliferative Schwann cells. Our laboratory previously reported that Schwann cells produce stem cell factor (SCF), a multi potential growth factor known to be involved in mast cell migration and growth. Given the fact that mast cell numbers are increased in both neurofibromas and malignant schwannomas, we set out to evaluate a potential role for SCF in the development of NF1 lesions. First we studied the effects of high doses of recombinant SCF on mast …

Practice And Fit In The Allocation Of The Resource Of Faculty Time: A Study Of Current And Preferred Scholarly Practice Of The Faculties Of Ten Theological Schools Affiliated With The Presbyterian Church (Usa), Roger Allen Nicholson

Theses and Dissertations

Faculties, deans, and trustees of theological schools affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (USA) were surveyed to determine current faculty practice; the practice preferred by faculty, deans. and trustees; the fit between current and preferred practice; and faculty practice and faculty preference difference according to categorical variables such as gender, race, and rank.

Seven variables defined faculty practice: workweek in hours, instruction, scholarship, service, advising, governance, and other. Scholarship was subdivided into three categories adapting Ernest Boyer’s multi-dimensional definition of scholarship: orginitive, applied, and teaching. Fit was defined in two ways: statistical fit and practical fit.

The reported workweek was comparable …
