Of Painters, Sculptors, Quill Pens And Microscopes: Teaching Legal Writers In The Electronic Age, Lucia A. Silecchia Jan 1997

Of Painters, Sculptors, Quill Pens And Microscopes: Teaching Legal Writers In The Electronic Age, Lucia A. Silecchia

Scholarly Articles

No longer do lawyers write most of their work “by hand.” Instead, most legal writing is now done on word processors. This has the potential to change the way lawyers write in a fundamental way. Because word processors make it easier to write more than was possible “by hand” modern legal writers are more akin to sculptors than painters. Such writers must create finely-tuned written products from the large quantities of material that can now be inputted into a document and then edited and whittled away to create a finished product.

This Article examines how the arrival of the electronic …

Aba And Aals Accreditation: What’S ‘Religious Diversity’ Got To Do With It?, Robert A. Destro

Scholarly Articles

The subject of this essay is whether, and under what circumstances, the religious commitment of an institution should become an issue in the law school accreditation process. Originally presented at the March 1994, Marquette University Conference on Religiously Affiliated Law Schools, this essay begins with the commonly shared assumption that some tensions do exist between religiously affiliated law schools and their accrediting agencies, the American Bar Association (ABA), and the Association of American Law Schools (AALS). For present purposes, the task will be to differentiate those tensions that arise from the accreditation process itself, and those that arise from the …

Teaching Professional Responsibility In Law School, Leah Wortham Jan 1993

Teaching Professional Responsibility In Law School, Leah Wortham

Scholarly Articles

I was pleased to be asked to write about teaching professional responsibility in law school. Ten years and sixteen classes of professional responsibility have allowed me to form many views. The following is organized in a variation of the journalist's standard five questions (who, what, when, where, and how). I consider WHAT to teach in professional responsibility courses, WHO should teach them, WHEN to teach the subject, HOW to teach it, and WHY it is hard to do.
