A Clinical Textbook?, John B. Mitchell

Seattle University Law Review

A clinical perspective (i.e., centered on practicing attorneys and clients) should be embedded throughout the law school curriculum. Do you need a clinical textbook to impart this clinical perspective? No. There are a number of other alternatives. Many professors are creating their own problems and exercises. Also, standard texts have increasingly begun to include problems and exercises which you can use. And there are companion or supplementary materials--casefiles, exercises, and even novels which professors can assign to add a lawyering perspective to a doctrinal course.

Wto Dispute Resolution: The Promotion Of Diplomacy Within An Adjudicative Model, Trevor Lawson

Dalhousie Journal of Legal Studies

This comment will initially identify what is generally agreed upon as the goal of dispute resolution within the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and the World Trade Organization (WTO) regime. Secondly, the two approaches historically associated with the debate as to how the objectives of dispute resolution within the GATT/WTO are best achieved, that of the legalist and that of the pragmatic or diplomatic approach, will be examined. Thirdly, it will be established that these two positions can be reconciled under a single model which employs adjudication as the ultimate arbiter of disputes, examining the civil justice system …
