Developing A Child Advocacy Law Clinic: A Law School Clinical Legal Education Opportunity, Donald N. Duquette
Developing A Child Advocacy Law Clinic: A Law School Clinical Legal Education Opportunity, Donald N. Duquette
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Clinical legal education has become an accepted and integral complement to traditional law school curricula. Professor Duquette argues that clinical education is uniquely able to integrate the teaching of practical skills and legal doctrine, elevating students' understanding of both. Duquette maintains that a child advocacy law clinic can teach a broad range of practical skill benefit the hosting law school by providing an opportunity for interdisciplinary education as well as a public relations benefit, while simultaneously serving an important need in most communities for quality representation of all parties in child abuse and neglect cases. Most importantly, participation in a …

The Ellis Archives-1972 To 1981: An Early View From The Parkdale Trenches, S. Ronald Ellis
The Ellis Archives-1972 To 1981: An Early View From The Parkdale Trenches, S. Ronald Ellis
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
The author was intimately involved with PCLS from 1972 to 1981. Significant extracts from a recently uncovered, personal horde of archival materials--framed by the author's description and explication of the materials' original context--provide old perspectives on a wide range of surprisingly current issues--perspectives which the author believes readers will find still useful. The subject matter includes: the private bar's role in the ultimate success of PCLS and the clinic system; legal aid services; the bar's role in the legal aid system; the need for customized legal services in low-income communities; the role and operation of community based legal clinics; a …
The Dream Is Still Alive: Twenty-Five Years Of Parkdale Community Legal Services And The Osgoode Hall Law School Intensive Program In Poverty Law, Frederick H. Zemans
The Dream Is Still Alive: Twenty-Five Years Of Parkdale Community Legal Services And The Osgoode Hall Law School Intensive Program In Poverty Law, Frederick H. Zemans
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
Over twenty-five years have passed since Parkdale Community Legal Services opened its doors in Toronto, changing the face of poverty law and clinical legal education in Ontario. This article details the formative years of the Parkdale clinic and its ongoing partnership with Osgoode Hall Law School. Despite initial opposition from the legal profession the clinic has survived, evolving into an innovative educational tool and delivery model of legal services. The clinic has become an essential component of the mixed Ontario legal aid system and a pattern for other clinics and clinical education programs in Canada. This article documents the considerations …
Twenty-Five Years Of Dynamic Tension: The Parkdale Community Legal Services Experience, Shelley A.M. Gavigan
Twenty-Five Years Of Dynamic Tension: The Parkdale Community Legal Services Experience, Shelley A.M. Gavigan
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
Parkdale Community Legal Services has been the site of initiatives, challenges, and historic accomplishments in the areas of community-based poverty law, community organizing and law reform, and clinical legal education. In this article, the author takes the occasion of the clinic's twenty-fifth anniversary to consider some of the events and issues that shaped Parkdale's history. Drawing on a range of sources, including evaluations and reports, student writing, and scholarly publications, the author examines the issues and debates that PCLS has sparked at Osgoode Hall Law School, and some of the ground it has broken more generally in its work. The …
Legal Education: Nemesis Or Ally Of Social Movements?, Janet E. Mosher
Legal Education: Nemesis Or Ally Of Social Movements?, Janet E. Mosher
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
There is much in legal education which contributes to lawyering practices that are fundamentally at odds with the formation of social movements. These practices include the "individualization" of client problems; the reshaping of the realities of clients' lives into legal categories or boxes; the commitment to instrumentalism (that is, to securing a favourable legal result); and lawyer domination and control and the correlates of client silence and passivity. The genesis for these features of dominant lawyering practices can be traced, at least in part, to legal education. More specifically, legal education's emphasis upon doctrinal analysis, its tendency to trade upon …
Legal Writing As A Kind Of Philosophy, Joel R. Cornwell
Legal Writing As A Kind Of Philosophy, Joel R. Cornwell
Mercer Law Review
Post-structuralist theories of textual meaning have been integrated into legal education in various ways, notably through the influence of the Critical Legal Studies movement. Ironically, legal writing courses, the portion of the first-year curriculum ostensibly allotted to techniques of dissecting and manipulating language, have largely ignored the insights of analytical philosophy and literary deconstruction indirectly appropriated in other courses. The standard models remain algorithmic, reinforcing a conservative view of writing as an applied lexigraphic skill, essentially void of the substance taught in nonwriting courses. This conceptual disjunction between writing and thought engenders and feeds the attitude that legal writing courses …

A Case For Compulsory Legal Ethics Education In Canadian Law Schools, Jocelyn Downie
A Case For Compulsory Legal Ethics Education In Canadian Law Schools, Jocelyn Downie
Dalhousie Law Journal
The author presents principled arguments, consequentialist arguments, arguments by analogy and arguments by authority in support of her conclusion that Canadian law schools should have compulsory legal ethics education. Among other things, she argues that legal ethics education is an imperfect but essential way to meet the obligations that arise from the public trust placed in the legal profession. She also explores a number of benefits that can accrue to students, law schools, the legal profession and society in general when ethics is a compulsory component of legal education.
An Analysis Of Gender In Admission To The Canadian Common Law Schools From 1985-86 To 1994-95, Brian M. Mazer
An Analysis Of Gender In Admission To The Canadian Common Law Schools From 1985-86 To 1994-95, Brian M. Mazer
Dalhousie Law Journal
Using statistical data covering a ten year period, this study examines the issue of gender representation in admissions to first year law study at common law schools in Canada. After addressing three identifiable steps in the admission process-applications, offers and registration-the author concludes that while there has been progress and the gap has narrowed, the problem of gender inequality persists.
Vampires Anonymous And Critical Race Practice, Robert A. Williams Jr.
Vampires Anonymous And Critical Race Practice, Robert A. Williams Jr.
Michigan Law Review
I can only explain what Vampires Anonymous has done for me by telling my story. I know, stories, particularly autobiographical stories, are currently being dissed by some law professors. Raised in an overly obsessive, objectively neutralized cultural style, they are plain and simple Storyhaters. Their middle to upper class parents had money, a home in the burbs, and nice kids who were going to go on from their fancy grade schools and college preparatory gigs to Harvard/Stanford/Yale - all those types of pricey places where law professors usually come from. These kids were raised to be objective, neutral, neutered, fair, …
Legal Narratives, Theraputic Narratives: The Invisibility And Omnipresence Of Race And Gender, Leslie G. Espinoza
Legal Narratives, Theraputic Narratives: The Invisibility And Omnipresence Of Race And Gender, Leslie G. Espinoza
Michigan Law Review
My first introduction to Denise Gray was through a form. The intake sheet was dated October 17, 1994. The legal problem was straightforward. My introduction to Denise Gray would come much later. I am a clinical law professor. The clinic, Boston College Legal Assistance Bureau, is known as "LAB." I teach students law by supervising them as they represent, usually for the first time, a real person with real problems.
Rodrigo's Thirteenth Chronicle: Legal Formalism And Law's Discontents, Richard Delgado
Rodrigo's Thirteenth Chronicle: Legal Formalism And Law's Discontents, Richard Delgado

Going To Trial: A Rare Throw Of The Die, Samuel R. Gross, Kent D. Syverud
Going To Trial: A Rare Throw Of The Die, Samuel R. Gross, Kent D. Syverud
Law Quadrangle (formerly Law Quad Notes)
Few of the suits that are filed continue to trial, but some plaintiffs and defendants find their interests served best by going to trial.
This essay is adapted from "Don’t Try: Civil Jury Verdicts in a System Geared to Settlement," appearing in 44 UCLA Law Review 1 (1996). Publication is by permission. A complete, fully cited version is available from the editor of Law Quadrangle Notes.
If it is true, as we often hear, that we are one of the most litigious societies on earth, it is because of our propensity to sue, not our affinity for trials. …

Eye On The World, Jose E. Alvarez, Virginia A. Gordon
Law Quadrangle (formerly Law Quad Notes)
In a special section coinciding with the International Reunion of Law School graduates, Law School graduates who are deeply involved in the globalization of legal practice respond to the question, "If you could leap ahead 10 years, how do you think what you are doing now will change?" And in a thought-provoking prologue, Professor of Law Jose Alvarez and Assistant Dean for International Programs Virginia A. Gordan consider the historical - and historic - impact of Law School graduates from overseas on the legal profession.

A New Nuremberg?, Jose E. Alvarez
Law Quadrangle (formerly Law Quad Notes)
The following essay is based on presentations given recently at the University of Michigan, Harvard Law School and the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy. While most citations have been removed for publication here, the author gratefully acknowledges the work of Mark Osiel, whose article, "Ever Again: Legal Remembrance of Administrative Massacre," 144 University of Pennsylvania Law Review 463 (1995), inspired much of the analysis here

Who Is Black Enough For You? An Analysis Of Northwestern University Law School's Struggle Over Minority Faculty Hiring, Leonard M. Baynes
Who Is Black Enough For You? An Analysis Of Northwestern University Law School's Struggle Over Minority Faculty Hiring, Leonard M. Baynes
Michigan Journal of Race and Law
This Article considers the factors that should be used in hiring a person of color to a faculty position and raises the following questions: Apart from potential teaching ability and scholarly productivity, should faculty appointments committees look to other criteria for candidates of color? Provided that we can still consider the race and ethnicity of prospective candidates of color at private institutions, should faculty appointments committees be concerned about how closely identified a candidate is to an essentialized conception, for instance, of Black persons? Should a faculty hiring committee focus its efforts to hire African Americans on a Black person …

Comparing United States And New Zealand Legal Education: Are U.S. Law Schools Too Good?, Gregory S. Crespi
Comparing United States And New Zealand Legal Education: Are U.S. Law Schools Too Good?, Gregory S. Crespi
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
This Article offers a thoughtful comparison of the legal educational systems of the United States and New Zealand. The author highlights the significant differences between these two legal educational systems by contrasting their admissions policies, clinical programs, "law-and-economics" electives, and staffing of required courses. Based on this analysis, the author concludes that although U.S. law schools are clearly "better," such superiority may have been achieved at too high of a cost, in terms of both the substantial resources now devoted to legal education which could otherwise be applied to alternative uses and the problematic effects of the stratified legal educational …

Intention In Tension Contracts, Cases And Doctrine By Randy E. Barnett, Kellye Y. Testy
Intention In Tension Contracts, Cases And Doctrine By Randy E. Barnett, Kellye Y. Testy
Seattle University Law Review
In discussing the choice of Barnett's casebook, this Review focuses on two central pedagogical goals, and describe how Barnett's casebook has either helped or hindered the reviewer's ability to accomplish those goals. Those goals are to actively assist students in (1) learning basic (accepted) contract doctrines and methods of analyzing contract issues; and (2) developing a critical stance toward law in general, and contract law in particular.
Preface: Law In (Case)Books, Law (School) In Action: The Case For Casebook Reviews, Janet Ainsworth
Preface: Law In (Case)Books, Law (School) In Action: The Case For Casebook Reviews, Janet Ainsworth
Seattle University Law Review
In the aggregate, these casebook reviews demonstrate the significance of the casebook, with its strengths and weaknesses, not just in shaping the temporary experience of students and teachers in the law school classroom but more profoundly for the longer-term development of the legal profession. Because casebooks still maintain the center of gravity in legal education, they serve as the vehicle through which each succeeding generation of lawyers is socialized into patterns of thinking about law and legal practice. Ironically, any single popular casebook probably has a more direct and profound influence on the legal culture than all of the other …
A Casebook For All Seasons? Cases And Materials On Contracts, 5th Edition By E. Allan Farnsworth & William F. Young, Geoffrey R. Watson
A Casebook For All Seasons? Cases And Materials On Contracts, 5th Edition By E. Allan Farnsworth & William F. Young, Geoffrey R. Watson
Seattle University Law Review
By any measure, Farnsworth & Young's <em>Cases and Materials on Contracts</em> is one of the leading American casebooks on contracts, perhaps the leading casebook. Part I of this Review considers the book's merits as a tool for teaching contract doctrine. In this respect the book excels. Part II considers it as a tool for introducing students to broader perspectives on contract law. In this respect the book's success is somewhat less complete.
A Clinical Textbook?, John B. Mitchell
A Clinical Textbook?, John B. Mitchell
Seattle University Law Review
A clinical perspective (i.e., centered on practicing attorneys and clients) should be embedded throughout the law school curriculum. Do you need a clinical textbook to impart this clinical perspective? No. There are a number of other alternatives. Many professors are creating their own problems and exercises. Also, standard texts have increasingly begun to include problems and exercises which you can use. And there are companion or supplementary materials--casefiles, exercises, and even novels which professors can assign to add a lawyering perspective to a doctrinal course.
Teaching Electronically: The Chicago-Kent Experiment, Richard Warner
Teaching Electronically: The Chicago-Kent Experiment, Richard Warner
Seattle University Law Review
Certain basic goals are widely shared, relatively uncontroversial, and sufficiently important that it makes sense to ask whether computer technology can improve our ability to achieve those goals. Consider the following four goals. This Review will focus primarily on the second goal (understanding the rationales behind the rules). Of course, to improve students' abilities to achieve this goal may also improve their abilities to achieve the first goal (knowledge of black letter rules) as a knowledge of a rule is obviously a precondition of understanding its purpose. Improving students' abilities to understand the rationale behind a rule may also improve …
Moving Ground, Breaking Traditions: Tasha's Chronicle, Angela I. Onwuachi-Willig
Moving Ground, Breaking Traditions: Tasha's Chronicle, Angela I. Onwuachi-Willig
Michigan Journal of Race and Law
This Note uses a fictional dialogue to analyze and engage issues concerning stereotypes, stigmas, and affirmative action. It also highlights the importance of role models for students of color and the disparate hiring practices of law firms and legal employers through the conversations and thoughts of its main character, Tasha Crenshaw.
