The Next Generation: Creating New Peace Processes In The Middle East, Carrie Menkel-Meadow, Irena Nutenko
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
This essay describes how Israeli students in a course on mediation and consensus building taught in an Israeli university law department by and American law professor and an Israeli instructor analyzed and studied the conflict in the Middle East. It describes the suggestions they made for process design for the next stages of whatever peace process might emerge for the region. In light of the students' suggestions, the authors present some ideas as to how different approaches to reconciliation and peace might be used, managed, and coordinated.

Benefits Of Integrated Programs Over Non-Integrated Programs, Rebecca Flanagan
Benefits Of Integrated Programs Over Non-Integrated Programs, Rebecca Flanagan

I do see hybrid teaching as the ASP model of the future. It is not a method that will be adopted by all schools, and it will certainly take time, and analysis, to refine the model to fit the student and school culture. Success is always a work in progress, but can only be achieved once you step from your comfort zone and try a new method.
Teaching 'Whren' To White Kids, M. Katherine B. Darmer
Teaching 'Whren' To White Kids, M. Katherine B. Darmer
M. Katherine B. Darmer
This paper was inspired by my experiences as a white criminal procedure professor teaching mostly-white classes and arises at the intersection of WHREN v. UNITED STATES and GRUTTER v. BOLLINGER. The article starts from the premise that criminal procedure remains highly racialized, with blacks experiencing the criminal justice system in significantly different ways than do whites. The article suggests that the lack of minority voices in the classroom poses a significant barrier to effectively teaching criminal procedure and critiques current approaches to criminal procedure pedagogy.
Thinking Like A Research Expert: Schemata For Teaching Complex Problem-Solving Skills, Paul D. Callister
Thinking Like A Research Expert: Schemata For Teaching Complex Problem-Solving Skills, Paul D. Callister
Paul D. Callister
The difference between expert and novice problem-solvers is that experts have organized their thinking into schemata or mental constructs to both see and solve problems. This article demonstrates why schemata are important, arguing that schemata need to be made explicit in the classroom. It illustrates the use of schemata to understand and categorize complex research problems, map the terrain of legal research resources, match appropriate resources to types of problems, and work through the legal research process. The article concludes by calling upon librarians and research instructors to produce additional schemata and develop a common hierarchical taxonomy of skills, a …
Legal Storytelling: The Theory And The Practice - Reflective Writing Across The Curriculum, Nancy Levit
Legal Storytelling: The Theory And The Practice - Reflective Writing Across The Curriculum, Nancy Levit
Nancy Levit
This article concentrates on the theory of narrative or storytelling and addresses the reasons it is vital to encourage in law schools in non-clinical or primarily doctrinal courses. Section I traces the advent of storytelling in legal theory and practice: while lawyers have long recognized that part of their job is to tell their clients' stories, the legal academy was, for many years, resistant to narrative methodologies. Section II examines the current applications of Writing Across the Curriculum in law schools. Most exploratory writing tasks in law school come in clinical courses, although a few adventurous professors are adding reflective …
Another Voice For The 'Dialogue': Federal Courts As A Litigation Course, Arthur D. Hellman
Another Voice For The 'Dialogue': Federal Courts As A Litigation Course, Arthur D. Hellman
Articles
The traditional course in "Federal Courts" - built on the model established by the great Hart and Wechsler casebook - focuses on issues of federalism, separation of powers, and institutional competence. That focus provides a powerful intellectual model for organizing the materials that make up the field of study, and it is hard to imagine anyone teaching a Federal Courts course today without drawing heavily on that model. But the traditional model is deficient in one important respect. Most of the students who take a Federal Courts course do so because they think it will help them to practice law …

The Anti-Case Method: Herbert Wechsler And The Political History Of The Criminal Law Course, Anders Walker
The Anti-Case Method: Herbert Wechsler And The Political History Of The Criminal Law Course, Anders Walker
All Faculty Scholarship
This article is the first to recover the dramatic transformation in criminal law teaching away from the case method and towards a more open-ended philosophical approach in the 1930s. It makes three contributions. One, it shows how Columbia Law Professor Herbert Wechsler revolutionized the teaching of criminal law by de-emphasizing cases and including a variety of non-case related material in his 1940 text Criminal Law and Its Administration. Two, it reveals that at least part of Wechsler's intention behind transforming criminal law teaching was to undermine Langdell's case method, which he blamed for producing a "closed-system" view of the law …
