A commitment to an excellent externship program in which students are intensely engaged in learning lawyering skills, values, responsibilities, and how the law and legal systems affect communities, families, and individuals, further advances William S. Boyd School of Law’s goals. It is another bridge over gaps between legal education, the profession, and the community. This article discusses the externship program at William S. Boyd School of Law.
Is "Thinking Like A Lawyer" Really What We Want To Teach?, Nancy B. Rapoport
Is "Thinking Like A Lawyer" Really What We Want To Teach?, Nancy B. Rapoport

This article argues that the phrase thinking like a lawyer assumes that other professions don't have their own ways of approaching problems and that law schools only need to teach how lawyers think, rather than how lawyers do what they do. It suggests that law schools should do much more than just teach law students how to think.

Increasingly, law school clinical programs are involving students in broader service projects designed to meet the needs of clients that go unaddressed by the legal system. Student involvement in these projects presents challenges for the traditional model of problem-solving taught in individual case representation. This article explores the challenges of translating the problem-solving techniques employed in direct representation of individual clients into the larger context of problem-solving for a client community by examining …

Building A Tower Of Babel Or Building A Discipline? Talking About Legal Writing, Terrill Pollman

High-quality writing is one of the crafts most necessary to a successful career in law. Mature legal professionals, lawyers, judges, and law professors write every day. Often, they write cooperatively--editing and redrafting a shared document. Nevertheless, those trained in the law may lack a common language that enables them to talk with each other about writing. Like the workers building the tower in the biblical story of Babel, legal professionals sometimes find themselves unable to communicate about their work.
Unlike most subjects in the legal academy, legal writing has emerged as an area of serious study in law schools only …
