Reduce, Reuse, And Recycle: How Using “Recycled” Simulations In An Lrw Course Benefits Students, Lrw Professors, And The Relevant Global Community, Rita F. Barnett

Unlike theory-based first year doctrinal courses, an LRW course typically teaches law students how to think, analyze, research, and write like lawyers through the use of real-world “simulations.” Drafting these simulations is one of most challenging and time-consuming aspects of an LRW professor’s job. Yet, despite the effort involved in both creating and teaching new simulations, controversy continues within the legal academy about whether reusing simulations is appropriate – or is simply an invitation for students to cheat. This article is the first to address head-on the ongoing debate over “recycling” LRW simulations, and describes not only how concerns over …

Today’s technology permits students, academics in non-law fields and lay persons to be exposed to the political views, theories and philosophies of legal scholars. Law journals and their supporting institutions should provide background and context to this scholarly output by summarizing the published works and linking them, using devices like QR codes, to readily understood, simply-expressed background materials. This effort will make the published scholarship accessible – at an education-appropriate level – to the inquiring reader.
