Teach Your Students Well: Valuing Clients In The Law School Clinic., Ann Juergens Jan 1993

Teach Your Students Well: Valuing Clients In The Law School Clinic., Ann Juergens

Faculty Scholarship

Law schools, teaching primarily by the casebook method, generally avoid the thorny issues that real clients pose.' Recently, however, law review articles and the ""regular classroom"" have referred more frequently to real client stories. Law school clinics are a primary source of client stories. Despite increased attention to clinical programs, client interests are frequently subordinated to the goals of students, clinical law teachers and law schools. This article urges clinicians to constantly evaluate whether and how well they and their students take their clients' interests and perspectives on clinical education into account. It argues that clinic teachers must learn to …

Throwing Stones At The Mudbank: The Impact Of Scholarship On Administrative Law, Ronald A. Cass, Jack M. Beermann Jan 1993

Throwing Stones At The Mudbank: The Impact Of Scholarship On Administrative Law, Ronald A. Cass, Jack M. Beermann

Faculty Scholarship

The impact of administrative law scholarship on administrative law seems at first blush both a relatively straightforward issue and one that academicians should be especially eager to engage. But there is reason to doubt both propositions. First, any effort to grapple with this topic compels the conclusion that the issue is by no means straightforward. As Peter Strauss recently observed, the question of the influence of administrative law scholarship necessarily becomes as well the influence of active engagement in the practice of administrative law on scholarship.' Moreover, the questions implicated in this assessment cannot be narrowly compassed. The topic requires …


The Mind In The Major American Law School, Lee C. Bollinger Jan 1993

The Mind In The Major American Law School, Lee C. Bollinger

Faculty Scholarship

But more than anything else it is the interdisciplinary movement in legal …
