Library Costs As A Percentage Of Law School Budgets, Jane L. Hammond Jul 1988

Library Costs As A Percentage Of Law School Budgets, Jane L. Hammond

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

For many years, the benchmark for the portion of the law school budget that goes to the law library has been twenty percent. An analysis of law school budgets for 1976-77, 1981-82, and 1986-87, however, shows that this benchmark should be lowered or modified by size of the law school.

History As Ideology In The Basic Property Course, Gregory S. Alexander Sep 1986

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

Legal history is doubtless used in all the first-year common-law courses, but I have the impression that since Langdell's time it has been more conspicuous in property than in the other basic courses. At least let us provisionally accept this rather dogmatic assertion in order to examine the more interesting questions: what function has the historical perspective served in property, and what other function might history serve in the course?

The State Of Trial Advocacy And Legal Education: Three New Studies, Roger C. Cramton, Erik M. Jensen Jan 1980

The State Of Trial Advocacy And Legal Education: Three New Studies, Roger C. Cramton, Erik M. Jensen

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

The appearance of three recent studies- two of trial judges’ perceptions of trial lawyers’ performance and one of law schools graduates’ perceptions of the utility of legal training- provides an opportunity to reevaluate the state of lawyer competence and the effect of law schools on that competence. With increased pressures in the profession for reformation of law school curricula, including the prescription of particular subjects, separation of the imagined failings of law schools from the genuine deficiencies has become increasingly important.
