Faculty Regulations Of American Law Schools, William L. Richard Jan 1964

Faculty Regulations Of American Law Schools, William L. Richard

Cleveland State Law Review

The nature and effect of faculty regulations of law schools would seem to have important bearing on the legal education that these schools offer. General faculty regulations of parent colleges or universities, of course, are important in their effects on their law schools. But of much greater interest to law teachers and students are the faculty regulations that are peculiar to law schools. With these facts in mind, the writer undertook to survey the state of faculty regulations of American law schools.


Literary Nature Of The Law, James K. Weeks Jan 1963

Literary Nature Of The Law, James K. Weeks

Cleveland State Law Review

There is a dichotomy in the problem of sufficient interest in and of realization of the sheer importance of the literary aspects of law, beyond mere acceptance of the idea that a lawyer must be capable of a high degree of communication, which capacity requires a certain adroitness in composition and presentation, whether written or oral. The neglected ingredient of that adroitness is the appreciation of all forms of literature as a basic tool. Literature then can be used first by the practitioner to polish and enhance his already existing skills as a lawyer, and, secondly, the importance of literature …

Facts And Fictions About Evening Law Schools, Howard L. Oleck Jan 1963

Facts And Fictions About Evening Law Schools, Howard L. Oleck

Cleveland State Law Review

The critics of evening law schools have argued that the problems of such schools far outweigh their advantages. They say that serious matters of fatigue and lack of dedication to the law are endemic in evening law schools. They say too that many evening schools, over-all, turn out an inferior legal product. Most of the criticism of evening law schools seems to emanate from day school people.


J.D. And Ll.B. As The Basic Law Degree, Marcus Schoenfeld Jan 1963

J.D. And Ll.B. As The Basic Law Degree, Marcus Schoenfeld

Cleveland State Law Review

Legal education in the United States is still evolving. In the past few decades the law schools have all but eliminated other means than law school study as preparation for the practice of law. The question of whether the first degree in law should be called an "LL.B." or a "J.D." is being considered by the Special Committee on Graduate Study of the Association of American Law Schools. Although this paper will endeavor to show that the J.D. should replace the LL.B. as the initial law degree, more basically it is an attempt to delineate the method by which such …

The League Of Ohio Law Schools: Past Failure - Future Success, Stanley E. Harper Jr. Jan 1960

The League Of Ohio Law Schools: Past Failure - Future Success, Stanley E. Harper Jr.

Cleveland State Law Review

In a recent article Dean Stanley Samad stated that the League of Ohio Law Schools "is unique in legal education." In fact the Ohio League is the only formal state-wide association of law schools in the United States. Throughout its twenty-five year history the Ohio League has served on the one hand as a kind of legal education policeman and on the other hand as a liaison agent between the Ohio law schools, the Ohio State Bar Association, the Board of Bar Examiners, and the Supreme Court of Ohio.

Boredom In Legal Education, Ralph Slovenko

Cleveland State Law Review

The law school should strive to educate the lawyer and nonlawyer not only on law but also on society. In this enterprise, there will be no boredom. Law, viewed as an interplay of history, logic, and sociology, is second to none as an exciting and liberal subject.

What's Wrong With Modern Legal Education, John G. Hervey Jan 1957

What's Wrong With Modern Legal Education, John G. Hervey

Cleveland State Law Review

Some one once observed that the size of a man is measured by the size of the things that he will let bother him. Which is to say, that what concerns the legal profession, and those who aspire to enter it, is the adequacy of the job that is being done. The great majority of the lawyers have had training in the law schools of the country - very few come to the practice today via law office study. The practicing profession is, therefore, but the mirror that reflects the schools in which the lawyers were trained. If the bench …
