Reflection, Reality, And A Real Audience: Ideas From The Clinic, Dana M. Malkus Apr 2013

Reflection, Reality, And A Real Audience: Ideas From The Clinic, Dana M. Malkus

All Faculty Scholarship

For a variety of reasons too numerous and complex to recount here, law teachers are increasingly expected to provide law students with more feedback and assessment. This is especially true for those who teach “doctrinal” courses. As a clinician, frequent feedback and assessment are common and essential parts of my teacher-student relationships. I believe the clinical model provides at least three simple—but important—lessons that can inform all law teaching.

Being a lawyer is much more than memorizing rules; students need to be able to understand the big picture and use the details to problem solve.

Bramble Bush Revisited: Karl Llewellyn, The Great Depression, And The First Law School Crisis, 1929-1939, Anders Walker Jan 2013

Bramble Bush Revisited: Karl Llewellyn, The Great Depression, And The First Law School Crisis, 1929-1939, Anders Walker

All Faculty Scholarship

This article recovers the plight of legal education during the Great Depression, showing how debates over practical training, theoretical research and the appropriate length of law school all emerged in the 1930s. Using Bramble Bush author Karl Llewellyn as a guide, it strives to make three points.
