Function, Form, And Strawberries: Subverting Langdell, Jeremiah A. Ho
Faculty Publications
Beyond this Part I Introduction, Part II will briefly summarize why the Langdell tradition is at heart a learning model that intrinsically marginalizes active learning and exalts only a limited experience of skills teaching and acquisition and will conclude that the Langdellian tradition creates a hierarchy that juxtaposes knowledge of legal doctrine over skills.

Intergrating Skills And Collaborating Across Law Schools: An Example From Immigration Law, Anna R. Welch

In doing so, the courses shared the explicit goal of increasing students’ exposure to practical lawyering skills while reinforcing students’ understanding of the substantive immigration laws. This …
