Herding Cats: Improving Law School Teaching, Mitchell M. Simon, M. E. Occhialino, Robert L. Fried

Law Faculty Scholarship

What makes a good law teacher? Is excellence in teaching largely a matter of intellectual brilliance, of superior organization and delivery of material, of friendliness and fairness to one's students? Or does it have more to do with style, with stage presence, with the ability to engage an audience in the act of reflective and spontaneous thinking?
