Exploring The Meaning Of Experiential Deaning, Robert Dinerstein, Margaret Martin Barry

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

This article explores the position of associate dean of experiential education in law schools across the country and the central role associate deans play in the changing landscape of legal education. Experiential deans have broad responsibility for overseeing law schools’ experiential education programs.

Analyzing survey data collected from associate experiential deans across the country, the authors find the structure, content, and authority of the position is under-developed. The authors make recommendations on how …

The Innocence Movement And Misdemeanors, Jenny M. Roberts Jan 2018

The Innocence Movement And Misdemeanors, Jenny M. Roberts

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

In recent years, the Innocent Movement has begun to focus its attention on wrongful misdemeanor convictions as a systemic problem. This Article analyzes eighty-five documented misdemeanor exonerations and concludes that innocence has been demonstrated primarily in two ways: laboratory tests of alleged unlawful drugs that reveal “no controlled substance” despite the individual having pled guilty to misdemeanor drug possession; and police body camera or citizen videos that surface after a misdemeanor conviction to contradict the factual basis for that conviction. Strategic use of these relatively definitive methods of revealing wrongful misdemeanor convictions can call attention to the flaws in misdemeanor …

This essay builds upon existing theoretical work and outlines a unique, bilingual instructional model that involves adding an optional credit hour – …


The Economic Justice Imperative For Lawyers In Trump Country, Priya Baskaran Jan 2018

The Economic Justice Imperative For Lawyers In Trump Country, Priya Baskaran

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

This article serves as a call to action for rural law schools to meaningfully incorporate economic justice into transactional legal education, and in doing so, train much needed rural advocates, legal experts, and local leaders. Rural areas are continuously portrayed as “Trump Country” in today’s mainstream media coverage, which largely focuses on socio-cultural differences between urban and rural areas. Many rural scholars and activists are troubled by the “Trump Country” label as it masks the structural poverty issues that lead to housing insecurity, water insecurity, poor public health indicators, unemployment, underemployment, troubled public education systems, and environmental degradation impacting both …


The Global Diffusion Of U.S. Legal Thought: Changing Influence, National Security, And Legal Education In Crisis, Fernanda Giorgia Nicola Dr. Jan 2018

The Global Diffusion Of U.S. Legal Thought: Changing Influence, National Security, And Legal Education In Crisis, Fernanda Giorgia Nicola Dr.

Contributions to Books

During the twentieth century, the center of production of legal ideas shifted from France to Germany and then to the United States. Here, the dominant legal reasoning framed the law as a phenomenon of social organization that was not confined to a specific legal system. There were both external and internal factors influencing U.S. legal thought which explain this change of wind from continental Europe to the United States. Externally, after World War II the United States garnered influence by positioning itself for political and economic global leadership. Internally, the critique of social purpose functionalism articulated by the legal realists …
