Torts In Verse: The Foundational Cases, R. Perry Sentell Jr.
Torts In Verse: The Foundational Cases, R. Perry Sentell Jr.
Scholarly Works
This Article contains a "verse," "rhyme," or "poem" for each of the truly foundational cases ordinarily studied in first year Torts. The arrangement assumes a typical Torts casebook's order of presentation, but is fairly flexible. Each entry initially sketches the selected case's significance to the body of Tort law and then follows with the verse. The "rhymes" themselves are admittedly (indeed, intentionally) contrived and pedantic, seeking to elicit groans--but hopefully groans of recognition and familiarity. Ideally, the student will most "enjoy" a verse while reading and studying the case itself; indeed, some verse references make little sense otherwise.
Legal Scholarship As Resistance To 'Science', Steven D. Smith
Legal Scholarship As Resistance To 'Science', Steven D. Smith
University of San Diego Public Law and Legal Theory Research Paper Series
Why do law professors continue to produce scholarship even after achieving tenure? This essay, presented as part of a AALS panel discussing “Why We Write?”, considers some common and less common responses, and suggests that for at least a few professors, legal scholarship can serve as a way of resisting the overbearing dominance of the “scientific” worldview evident in so much modern thought in favor of a perspective more attentive to the value of persons.
The Shadow Of Professor Kingsfield: Contemporary Dilemmas Facing Women Law Professors, Martha Chamallas
The Shadow Of Professor Kingsfield: Contemporary Dilemmas Facing Women Law Professors, Martha Chamallas
The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law Working Paper Series
This essay discusses the predicament of women law professors in an era when the representation of women on law faculties has reached a “critical mass.” It explores three mechanisms for reproducing gender inequality: (1) self-fulfilling stereotypes, (2) gender-specific comparison groups, and (3) the accumulation of small disadvantages. Chamallas uses stories from her own and colleagues’ experiences to illustrate contemporary forms of bias.

The Devil In The Details: How Specific Should Catholic Social Thought Teaching Be? , Michele R. Pistone
The Devil In The Details: How Specific Should Catholic Social Thought Teaching Be? , Michele R. Pistone
Working Paper Series
The article explores Catholic social teaching's tradition of generality, and assesses the wisdom of, and potential for, change to a more specific orientation. The article enlightens the reader as to reasons for the traditional approach to Catholic social teaching, what might be gained by the articulation of a more concrete social teaching, the assertion that a more specific social teaching will require greater lay input, a suggestion for a possible mechanism for accomplishing this, and the benefits of greater lay input, particularly via the aforementioned mechanism. The article also makes some recommendations as to when, how, and to what degree …
Educating Lawyers For The Future Legal Profession, Thomas D. Morgan
Educating Lawyers For The Future Legal Profession, Thomas D. Morgan
GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works
What today's law students do as lawyers will be profoundly affected by changes their clients experience. Clients are likely to face more global competition than earlier generations could imagine, and they are likely to value lawyers who understand the non-legal aspects of their problems. Tomorrow's lawyers are likely to have to be more specialized than their predecessors, and many will deliver services that are less personal, more commodity-like, and less financially rewarding. Legal education, in turn, faces challenges producing lawyers capable of functioning in that world. Future lawyers will have to be simultaneously more specialized and more capable of responding …
Tenure: Endangered Or Evolutionary Species, James J. Fishman
Tenure: Endangered Or Evolutionary Species, James J. Fishman
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
This article will review some of the challenges to the system of academic tenure: the efforts to reform, curtail, or eliminate it. It will discuss exogenous factors undermining the institution and then suggest some areas where tenure should evolve, particularly focusing upon academic tenure in legal education. The author argues that the hierarchical structure of traditionally tenured faculty and other faculty, clinicians, and legal writing professors, employed on short or long-term contracts, has undermined academic freedom and tenure.

Part I of this article details the history of SAC before the authors initiated the collaboration, and the reasons SAC needed financial expertise. Part II of this article describes models of interdisciplinary collaboration, particularly between …
Not The Evil Twen: How Online Course Management Software Supports Non-Linear Learning In Law Schools, Marie Stefanini Newman
Not The Evil Twen: How Online Course Management Software Supports Non-Linear Learning In Law Schools, Marie Stefanini Newman
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
In this article, I will discuss both how today's law students learn through technology, and also theories of personality types and learning styles. I will first review the few existing empirical studies on the subject. Next, I will discuss course Web sites and how they can support, not replace, what happens in the traditional law school classroom. Then, I will discuss how my law school implemented TWEN course Web pages, and discuss the results of a survey of TWEN usage by faculty members at Pace University School of Law. The survey indicates that although TWEN course Web sites have improved …

Toward A Rule Of Law Society In Iraq: Introducing Clinical Legal Education Into Iraqi Law Schools, Haider Ala Hamoudi
Toward A Rule Of Law Society In Iraq: Introducing Clinical Legal Education Into Iraqi Law Schools, Haider Ala Hamoudi
Articles
This Article details my experience introducing clinical legal education into three Iraqi law schools. I highlight some of the cultural, legal and logistical obstacles that existed, and the means my colleagues and I used to circumvent them. By and large we considered our project at least modestly successful and certainly garnered the interest of many faculty and nearly all students who participated. Nevertheless, the extent of our success depended largely on the cooperation of the faculty and administration at the law schools with which we worked, and we were able to achieve the most at those institutions where cooperation was …

Cry Me A River: The Limits Of 'A Systemic Analysis Of Affirmative Action In American Law Schools', Angela Onwuachi-Willig, Kevin Johnson
Faculty Scholarship
This article is a response to Richard H. Sander's article, A Systemic Analysis of Affirmative Action in American Law Schools, which recently appeared in the Stanford Law Review. In his article, Professor Sander argues that affirmative action in law schools harms, rather than helps, African American law students by setting up African American students, who are out-matched by their white peers in terms of undergraduate grade point average and LSAT scores, for failure. Specifically, Professor Sander contends that because affirmative action enables African Americans to attend law schools for which they are unqualified, they are more likely to perform poorly …
