Failure Of Religious, Moral And Legal Controls To Meet The Needs Of Modern Life: Legal Education, Frederick K. Beutel
Failure Of Religious, Moral And Legal Controls To Meet The Needs Of Modern Life: Legal Education, Frederick K. Beutel
Cleveland State Law Review
Law is social control, and law devised without direct reference to the facts of life of the people controlled is not likely to be successfully administered. This is especially true in the modern world where social conditions are being changed with kaleidoscopic rapidity, while laws are changing slowly if at all. If all the professions using science have so changed man's environment, why does it not make sense to give the scientific method a improve law and government? The means of accomplishing this have been discussed at length elsewhere and need not be repeated here; but the impact of these …
The Student And Law School Governance, Ralph F. Bischoff
The Student And Law School Governance, Ralph F. Bischoff
Cleveland State Law Review
At a recent meeting of a university Board of Trustees, discussion centered on three problems-perhaps one should say three aspects of one problem-the solution to which will affect the university and its role in our quickly-changing society. I refer, of course, to the violence of a few student extremists who are disrupting the normal activities of the university, to the new emphasis on a Black student separatist movement and to student demands for responsibility in the governance of the university. Of the three, the latter is clearly the most important; its solution should aid in solving the difficulties created by …
On Legal Writing, Albert P. Blaustein
On Legal Writing, Albert P. Blaustein
Cleveland State Law Review
Virtually all legal writing is atrocious! This is true about (a) statutes and administrative regulations; (b) judicial opinions and agency rulings; (c) trial papers and appellate briefs; (d) office memoranda and opinion letters; (e) annotations and digest paragraphs; and (f) law treatises and legal articles. It is even true (especially true?) about articles on legal writing. This is a serious matter. For the ramifications of bad legal writing are very costly-in time, in money and, indeed, in the very quality of life. Working to improve legal writing is no frivolous exercise.
A Core Curriculum For Urban Law, David F. Cavers
A Core Curriculum For Urban Law, David F. Cavers
Cleveland State Law Review
My suggestions here will be directed to the second and third years of the law curriculum. In suggesting courses which I believe can provide a valuable body of knowledge in preparation for the new demands of urban law practice, I have ignored the opportunities for drawing on materials relevant to that practice in many of the courses that I do not mention. Without sacrificing instructional value, such materials can frequently be substituted in first-year courses and in some of the second and third year courses for materials drawn from a more bucolic America. This process is already beginning to take …
A Few Words About Law Teaching, Robert A. Leflar
A Few Words About Law Teaching, Robert A. Leflar
Cleveland State Law Review
The purpose of these few paragraphs will be to look for a quick moment at the law teacher's job as it appears both in retrospect and prospect to one whose law school teaching spans more than forty years and whose fortunate experience at working with other jobs in the law has given him reason to appreciate mightily the happy chance that led him as a youth into the teaching branch of the legal profession.
Random Gripes Of A Law Professor, Marcus Schoenfeld
Random Gripes Of A Law Professor, Marcus Schoenfeld
Cleveland State Law Review
Let use begin at the beginning-the "slave markets." Everyone, both "buyers" and "sellers," agree that it's an exhausting, demeaning,and inefficient way to hire professors. But the art form remains remarkably constant, since no better means of mass matchmaking has yet been devised. Possibly we should adopt the British system, requiring all schools to advertise their openings in the Times classified section. More likely, we will start computerizing to remove the last vestiges of humanity from the system. But until the system is basically changed, why not try to smooth out some rough spots?
Befehl 1st Befehl, James K. Weeks
Befehl 1st Befehl, James K. Weeks
Cleveland State Law Review
Over the years educators have railed against poor scholarship, lack of interest, poor grammar and the general incompetence or ineptness of students. Many of these criticisms were correctly laid at the door of students. The attitudes developed early in life, nurtured in elementary and secondary schools and ripened in undergraduate colleges and universities, were often harvested by the graduate schools. These attitudes, good or bad but more often merely neutral, would supply a list of almost inexhaustible possibilities. It is this writer's purpose to focus in on four which, because of their influence upon law students, can be carried on …
Then And Now: A Bit Of Autobiography And An Argument, Vernon X. Miller
Then And Now: A Bit Of Autobiography And An Argument, Vernon X. Miller
Cleveland State Law Review
I am old enough to give my younger colleagues (and a few of my contemporaries) some advice. Study the 1920's. They were a law teachers' decade. Even you, honestly sophisticated as you are, can find out how the profession got to where it is. No one of us can afford to stop growing. The profession needs you as lawyers because the profession is under siege. The university schools need you as lawyers because the schools just could forfeit their power in the profession.
Legal Education: Confronting Reality And Too Many Siblings, Ralph Slovenko
Legal Education: Confronting Reality And Too Many Siblings, Ralph Slovenko
Cleveland State Law Review
What do we-all of us-want out of legal education? Why is there so much concern and dissatisfaction with regard to the third, and to some extent, the second year of the curriculum? Questions most often raised are: What does one want or expect of legal education?; why is there so much dissatisfaction?; what really is the problem, and what can be done about it?
Need For More Professors Who Have Practiced Law, James M. Dente
Need For More Professors Who Have Practiced Law, James M. Dente
Cleveland State Law Review
I was delighted to receive recently a copy of a letter from the distinguished faculty advisor of the Cleveland-Marshall Law Review, inviting law faculty members, whenever they are seeking a vehicle for expression, to send short un-annotated articles about a pet idea or gripe in legal education. After having practiced law for fourteen years and (after having been turned down by some of the best law schools in the country) having taught law for the past year, I now feel eminently qualified to write just that type of unscholarly article.
