On Legal Education And Reform: One View Formed From Diverse Perspectives, Robert J. Rhee
On Legal Education And Reform: One View Formed From Diverse Perspectives, Robert J. Rhee
Robert Rhee
This article identifies two interconnected problems in legal education. First, legal education and practice are more disconnected than they should be, a reality which distinguishes law schools from other professional schools. The major flaw of legal education as the failure to produce more market-ready lawyers who have a mix of skills and knowledge to add value in a complex and challenging practice environment. Second, law school imposes large direct and opportunity costs on its students. These costs combine with the problem of a deficiency in academic training and post-graduation financing of additional training in the workplace to impose a growing …

Those Who Can't, Teach: What The Legal Career Of John Yoo Tells Us About Who Should Be Teaching Law, Lawrence Rosenthal
Those Who Can't, Teach: What The Legal Career Of John Yoo Tells Us About Who Should Be Teaching Law, Lawrence Rosenthal
Lawrence Rosenthal
Perhaps no member of the legal academy in America is more controversial than John Yoo. For his role in producing legal opinions authorizing what is thought by many to be abusive treatment of detainees as part of the Bush Administration’s “Global War on Terror,” some have called for him to be subjected to professional discipline, others have called for his criminal prosecution. This paper raises a different question: whether John Yoo – and his like – ought to be teaching law.
John Yoo provides something of a case study in the problems in legal education today. As a scholar, Professor …

The Variable Value Of Us Legal Education In The Global Legal Services Market, Carole Silver
The Variable Value Of Us Legal Education In The Global Legal Services Market, Carole Silver
Carole Silver
Many U.S. law firms now claim to be global organizations, and they seek to occupy the same high status everywhere they work. In part, simply supporting overseas offices is an indication of status for U.S.-based firms. But firms want more than this and they strive for recognition as elite advisors around the world. In this pursuit, have firms identified a set of common characteristics and credentials that define a “global lawyer?” That is, is there a uniform and universal profile, or perhaps a set of assets that comprise global professional capital, which are emerging as the indicia of credibility and …

Moving Beyond "Just" A Deal, A Bad Deal Or No Deal: How A Deal-Facilitator Engaged By The Parties As "Counsel To The Deal" Can Help Them Improve The Quality And Sustainability Of The Outcome, Manon Schonewille, Kenneth Fox

Mediation is commonly characterized as one of several core ADR processes. The vast majority of the mediation literature focuses on dispute settlement and resolution. However, relatively little attention is paid to the transactional potential of business mediation - ways in which this ADR process can assist the parties to build better deals. This article describes mediation as a deal-facilitation process.

Growin’ Up: An Assessment Of Adult Self-Image In Clinical Law Students, Judith Ritter
Growin’ Up: An Assessment Of Adult Self-Image In Clinical Law Students, Judith Ritter
Judith L Ritter
My thesis is that a majority of law students do not view themselves as adult professionals. When upper-class law students participate in live-client clinical programs, their lack of an adult self-image presents a barrier to effectiveness.
This article draws upon theories of psychological and moral development to explore the ingredients of being an adult and having an adult self-image. It examines the obstacles to development confronted by contemporary law students. The article explains the ways in which having an adult self-image is so important to the success of the student lawyer and how lacking an adult self-image can diminish the …

Animal Law Unit Outline, Anne Louise Schillmoller
Anne Schillmoller
As a significant growth area of law, the central aim of this unit is to enable students to identify and evaluate the legal frameworks which regulate various types of human-animal interaction and to consider the ways in which these frameworks impact upon the interests of animals. In addition, the unit provides an opportunity for students to identify and critique the ways in which animals are conceptualised in law, including the philosophical, scientific and economic assumptions which inform the law relating to animals. Finally, the unit will enable students to reflect upon the adequacy of laws relating to animals and to …
Clinical Professors' Professional Responsibility: Preparing Law Students To Embrace Pro Bono, Douglas L. Colbert
Clinical Professors' Professional Responsibility: Preparing Law Students To Embrace Pro Bono, Douglas L. Colbert
Douglas L. Colbert
This article begins by examining the current crisis in the U.S. legal system where approximately three out of four low- and middle-income litigants are denied access to counsel's representation when faced with the loss of essential rights - -a home, child custody, liberty and deportation - - and where most lawyers decline to fulfill their ethical responsibility of pro bono service to those who cannot afford private counsel. The article traces the evolving ethical standards of a lawyer's professional responsibility that today views every attorney as a public citizen having a special responsibility to the quality of justice.

Law 10487 Animal Law 2nd Edition, Anne Louise Schillmoller, Amber Hall
Anne Schillmoller
To some extent, the name of this unit, ‘Animal Law’, is a misnomer. While the central concern of this unit is with the well-being and protection of non-human animals, its practical focus is upon the ways in which humans and human institutions, including the apparatus of law, regard, regulate, and interact with non-human beings. Such a focus exhorts ‘we’ humans to reflect upon our behaviours, practices, attitudes and responsibilities towards non-human animals. Specifically, it requires us to interrogate and challenge the assumed sovereignty of humans over animals, the ways in which human interests are routinely privileged over those of animals, …

America Giveth, And America Taketh Away: The Fate Of Article 9 After The Futenma Base Dispute, Allen P. Mendenhall
America Giveth, And America Taketh Away: The Fate Of Article 9 After The Futenma Base Dispute, Allen P. Mendenhall
Allen Mendenhall
This Article considers how the Obama administration’s policies toward Japan implicate Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution. More specifically, it argues that the Futenma base dispute (as it has come to be known) jeopardizes the very existence of Article 9 by threatening to render it moot and by expanding the already expansive interpretations of Article 9. Part I provides a brief history of the Futenma base dispute during the Obama years, and Part II explains the effects of the Futenma base dispute on Article 9. More specifically, Part II contextualizes the Futenma issue by way of the legislative and judicial …
