Professionalizing Legislative Drafting: A Realistic Goal?, Reed Dickerson
Professionalizing Legislative Drafting: A Realistic Goal?, Reed Dickerson
Articles by Maurer Faculty
The teaching of skills that result in sound legislative drafting is neglected in law schools, and professionalism in legislative drafting is lacking on both the federal and state fronts. With the adoption by the American Bar Association of seven major principles relating to the drafting of federal legislation, perhaps there is more hope now that there will be a move toward professionalism.

The Problem Method Adapted To Case Books, William Hamilton Bryson
The Problem Method Adapted To Case Books, William Hamilton Bryson
Law Faculty Publications
Although it is obvious that the teaching style of every successful academic must be the product of his own personality and experience, I do, nevertheless, believe that the exchange of ideas on the subject of legal education is constructive. It may suggest ways to make minor changes and thereby to improve one's own methods or approaches. Therefore, I present here some thoughts on the Socratic method of teaching law and the results of my own experimentation with cases as problems for classroom debate. This approach has been successful for me, and it is my hope that these ideas may be …

2-1-1: The 4th Revolution In Legal Education, Michael I. Sovern
Faculty Scholarship
If we were to count the great changes in legal education from Charles Evans Hughes' day to this, we would find ourselves with a short list. The shift from apprenticeship to school was already well begun by the time Mr. Hughes was graduated from the Columbia School of Law in 1884. The case method was a new idea, but it would become the orthodox methodology in a startlingly short time. By the turn of the century, a number of law schools had moved from two- to three-year programs, but two years was still enough for admission to the bar in …

Changing Directions At Columbia, Michael I. Sovern
Faculty Scholarship
Each period in history handles reform in its own way. In the earlier days we placed a heavy emphasis on legal realism. We stressed the need to adapt the learning of other disciplines to legal education and to bring the learning of other disciplines into the law school instructional program. As you know, that is an incomplete revolution. It remains a part of our present concern, but our focus today is different.

Report Of The Dean 1972-1973, Thomas L. Shaffer
Journal Articles
These are curious times for American legal education, especially curious perhaps at this university law school, because we claim adherence to the traditions of Thomas More. Our profession has for more than two centuries provided rulers for America, as it provided leaders, including More himself, for More's England—presidents and speakers, senators and administrators, benign manipulators in American corridors of power. More than a few of America's lawyer leaders have been educated at Christian, university law schools, and, as I think about Notre Dame law students this summer, I hope we are educating more than a few replacements for the lawyer-leaders …

Studying Law As The Possibility Of Principled Action, Gordon A. Christenson
Studying Law As The Possibility Of Principled Action, Gordon A. Christenson
Faculty Articles and Other Publications
The study of law may be viewed as the critical analysis of a system of logically coherent rules governing action. In the United States, the responsibility for legal education has traditionally fallen upon the law schools. Within the legal profession and law schools a restive spirit now prevails, seeking to further clarify the meaning of that responsibility.' Two responses appear in the law schools, for good or ill.

It urges the Law School to assist students in seeing collaboration in studying law is a winning style. The author hopes that through experiments, students will actually start to see that collaboration encourages success among law students, and especially first-year law students where collaboration is valuable because of the situation students are in.

This is my first report to you as dean of the Notre Dame Law School. It seems to me important to begin it with an assessment of the decade that intervened between 1961, when I graduated from the Law School, and 1971, when Father Hesburgh appointed me to be dean. I assess, of course, a decade of law at Notre Dame during most of which (1963-71) I participated as a member of the faculty. I made this assessment, in approximately these terms, to Father Burtchaell and to our students in March, 1971; to our Advisory Council in April, 1971; and …

Education In Professional Responsibility, David B. Goshien
Education In Professional Responsibility, David B. Goshien
Cleveland State Law Review
The problems, indeed the inadequacy of present legal education in ethics and professional responsibility are well known. The traditional methods of preparing law students for the avoidance of ethical and even criminal complaints against them in their future practice of law have been, in the main, divisible into two general categories: the "pervasive" method, through which understanding is supposed to be gained by students as if by osmosis through all courses and general law school contract, and the "specific" method which offers a course in the subject. Both methods are commonly used but neither seems to have achieved an acceptable …
Manners, Morals And Legal Education, Thomas Ehrlich
Manners, Morals And Legal Education, Thomas Ehrlich
Articles by Maurer Faculty
Many spokesmen for the legal profession have been calling on the law schools to pay more attention to ethical responsibilities, usually meaning manners and civility. But many of today's law students believe that the profession is not meeting some of its public responsibilities. When that problem is squarely faced, with the law schools' help, then good manners should follow.
John W. Wade: An Appreciation, Reber Boult
John W. Wade: An Appreciation, Reber Boult
Vanderbilt Law Review
Without going back to the year of his advent as Dean when the placement of law graduates was largely a catch-as-catch-can proposition, but starting with the academic year 1965-66, there were approximatly 35 law firms, government agencies, or other entities that sent representatives to the Law School to interview candidates and to make offers for legal opportunities. During the 1971-72 academic year, there were over 100 such interviewers, a number of whom represented some of the most prestigious law firms in the United States. This record of achievement speaks eloquently of the end work product of the Vanderbilt School of …
Law Reform And Law For The Layman: A Challenge To Legal Education, Walter Barnett
Law Reform And Law For The Layman: A Challenge To Legal Education, Walter Barnett
Vanderbilt Law Review
Most of the current debate over academic neutrality has centered on whether the university as an institution--the faculty and students as a corporate body--should take formal positions on political issues, such as the war in Vietnam. This article will address the related, but perhaps more mundane, question whether law professors should take a more active role in providing legal services to government and to the public when this activity might provoke attacks on academic freedom. Traditionally, law professors who have sought to serve society in ways other than educating lawyers have engaged in the following five extramural activities:' (1) The …

College Law: 1970-1971, Thomas E. Blackwell
Cleveland State Law Review
The evolution and development of college law has continued to accelerate during the past year. Perhaps the best indication of the topics of direct and current concern to those practicing in this area of legal specialization is the agenda of the June 1970 meeting of the NACUA. With few exceptions, the papers presented emphasized the problem of order on the campus and the role of the judiciary in its preservation.

Old And New Type Bar Exams, Melvin Nord
Old And New Type Bar Exams, Melvin Nord
Cleveland State Law Review
Bar exams are intended to protect the public by insuring that only competent persons are licensed to practice law. What comprises competency, however, is a difficult question to answer; and how competency is to be determined is even more difficult. As with most difficult questions, the usual approach has been simply to ignore them and "play it by ear." The result has been bar exams in many states which are of marginal value to the public and which have at the same time been extremely unfair to the applicants.

Problems In Legal Education 1971, Cleveland State Law Review
Cleveland State Law Review
Six problems in legal education, much discussed recently, were posed by the Editors of this Review to a number of the top educators in the legal world. These questions were and are frankly difficult and controversial, but their answers are important to our system of legal education and to our society. Capsule answers given by these concerned educators are believed to be interesting and significant. Each is a personal rather than a representative opinion. Brief answers such as these, of course, are not expected to be, nor do they pretend to be, complete or profound. Their purpose is to indicate …

Make Room For The Students: Governance Of The Law School, John J. Regan
Cleveland State Law Review
Should students share the power? The issue of student participation in the governance of colleges and universities concerns virtually every institution of higher education in the country. Confrontations at some universities have focused on this issue as one of the prime causes of student discontent. Other institutions have plunged quickly into investigations and discussions of the question to head off such disturbances.

A Comparison Of Legal Education In The United States And West Germany, Wilfried Schluter, William O. Morris
West Virginia Law Review
In recent years we have witnessed evidence of student unrest and dissatisfaction in many universities, both in the United States and in many, if not most, foreign countries. In some instances those enrolled in a course of legal study have been in the front ranks of the students protesting the quality of their education and the methods used in endeavoring to provide a well rounded legal education. When comparing legal education in West Germany and the United States, one must initially recognize that there is a difference in the philosophy in the two countries as to the study of law …
