Exams In The Time Of Chatgpt, Margaret Ryznar Mar 2023

Exams In The Time Of Chatgpt, Margaret Ryznar

Washington and Lee Law Review Online

Invaluable guidance has emerged regarding online teaching in recent years, but less so concerning online and take-home final exams. This article offers various methods to administer such exams while maintaining their integrity—after asking artificial intelligence writing tool ChatGPT for its views on the matter. The sophisticated response of the chatbot, which students can use in their written work, only raises the stakes of figuring out how to administer exams fairly.


The Consummate Legal Education: Teaching Analysis As Doctrine, Julie Ann Interdonato May 2019

The Consummate Legal Education: Teaching Analysis As Doctrine, Julie Ann Interdonato

Concordia Law Review

This paper addresses the necessity and means of developing analysis and its written expression as an independent topic of study throughout students’ law school tenure. “Doctrine,” as it appears in the above title, is defined as the transcendent analytic concepts that underlie the common law, and the modality of their application in the law’s constant evolution. The purpose of presenting analysis in this context is to enhance analytic instruction presently provided in law school, and thereby take students one step further in their education, into the realm of the practicing attorney. In this manner, educators, building on the case law …


Irlafarc! Surveying The Language Of Legal Writing, Terrill Pollman, Judith M. Stinson Nov 2017

Irlafarc! Surveying The Language Of Legal Writing, Terrill Pollman, Judith M. Stinson

Maine Law Review

Language, like law, is a living thing. It grows and changes. It both reflects and shapes the communities that use it. The language of the community of legal writing professors demonstrates this process. Legal writing professors, who stand at the heart of an emerging discipline in the legal academy, are creating new terms, or neologisms, as they struggle to articulate principles of legal analysis, organizational paradigms conventional to legal writing, and other legal writing concepts. This new vocabulary can be both beneficial and detrimental. It can be beneficial because it expands the substance of an emerging discipline. It also can …

Why Write?, Erwin Chemerinsky Apr 2009

Why Write?, Erwin Chemerinsky

Michigan Law Review

This wonderful collection of reviews of leading recent books about law provides the occasion to ask a basic question: why should law professors write? There are many things that law professors could do with the time they spend writing books and law review articles. More time and attention could be paid to students and to instructional materials. More professors could do pro bono legal work of all sorts. In fact, if law professors wrote much less, teaching loads could increase, faculties could decrease in size, and tuition could decrease substantially. The answer to the question "why write" is neither intuitive …

Too Long Neglected: Expanding Curricular Support For Public Interest Lawyering, Louis S. Rulli Jan 2007

Too Long Neglected: Expanding Curricular Support For Public Interest Lawyering, Louis S. Rulli

Cleveland State Law Review

In short, as the academy sends more students than ever to corporate law firms, law schools need to do more to cultivate, nourish, and prepare the next generation of public interest lawyers. By making public interest lawyering more prominent in the curriculum, and offering students greater opportunity to work with faculty and students of similar interest on public interest issues, the academy can take an important step forward toward helping students overcome feelings of isolation and survive the formidable obstacles that discourage public interest careers. This article describes one such course, Lawyering in the Public Interest, which is offered as …

Law School Never Stops, Robert L. Clare Jan 1980

Law School Never Stops, Robert L. Clare

Cleveland State Law Review

In the past, law school graduates were molded into lawyers through along period of training. However, the modern legal community - law firms, law staffs of corporations and government agencies, bar associations, continuing legal education institutes and law schools - has begun to implement a whole new philosophy of legal training predicated upon the direct teaching of legal practice skills rather than the experience orientated process.


The Technique Of Writing Examinations, Robert Littler Jan 1964

The Technique Of Writing Examinations, Robert Littler

San Diego Law Review

Writing is a skill or a craft. It cannot be learned by study alone. It is a bit like playing the piano and playing football. If we learn it at all, we learn it by practice and by trial and criticism. There are no fixed rules; at least I know of none that cannot be successfully violated. There are certain principles on which all writers agree. It is to these I shall turn in a moment...
