Beating The Odds: Reading Strategies Of Law Students Admitted Through Alternative Admissions Programs, Laurel Oates
Beating The Odds: Reading Strategies Of Law Students Admitted Through Alternative Admissions Programs, Laurel Oates
Faculty Articles
When they enter law school, the odds are against them. Almost always persons of color and often from disadvantaged backgrounds, their LSAT scores are substantially lower than those of their classmates. As a result, these students, law students admitted through alternative admissions programs, have a by far less chance of success than their regularly admitted classmates. Some of these students do, however, beat the odds. While most students who are admitted to law school under an alternative admissions program perform as their LSAT scores predict-in the bottom quartile of their class-a small number perform substantially better. Every year, some alternatively …
Teaching Electronically: The Chicago-Kent Experiment, Richard Warner
Teaching Electronically: The Chicago-Kent Experiment, Richard Warner
Seattle University Law Review
Certain basic goals are widely shared, relatively uncontroversial, and sufficiently important that it makes sense to ask whether computer technology can improve our ability to achieve those goals. Consider the following four goals. This Review will focus primarily on the second goal (understanding the rationales behind the rules). Of course, to improve students' abilities to achieve this goal may also improve their abilities to achieve the first goal (knowledge of black letter rules) as a knowledge of a rule is obviously a precondition of understanding its purpose. Improving students' abilities to understand the rationale behind a rule may also improve …

Intention In Tension Contracts, Cases And Doctrine By Randy E. Barnett, Kellye Y. Testy
Seattle University Law Review
In discussing the choice of Barnett's casebook, this Review focuses on two central pedagogical goals, and describe how Barnett's casebook has either helped or hindered the reviewer's ability to accomplish those goals. Those goals are to actively assist students in (1) learning basic (accepted) contract doctrines and methods of analyzing contract issues; and (2) developing a critical stance toward law in general, and contract law in particular.

Washington Defendants' New Right Of Pre-Trial Flight, Christopher T. Igielski
Washington Defendants' New Right Of Pre-Trial Flight, Christopher T. Igielski
Seattle University Law Review
Certainly, it is only by disregarding the "victim's rights" that one can begin to fathom the Washington Supreme Court's decision in State v. Jackson. This decision reversed the conviction of a man who raped his four-year-old niece on Christmas Eve in 1979, causing her to contract gonorrhea. Following his arraignment, Jackson fled and failed to appear at his trial. After attempts to locate Jackson failed, a trial was held in absentia' and he was found guilty of rape, with sentencing suspended pending his return to custody. Jackson evaded the law for nearly thirteen years.'0 Shortly after his eventual capture …
How We Teach: A Survey Of Teaching Techniques In American Law Schools, Steven I. Friedland
How We Teach: A Survey Of Teaching Techniques In American Law Schools, Steven I. Friedland
Seattle University Law Review
A person's law school teaching is predicated on or supported by one or more learning theories, therefore, Part II of this Article discusses cognitive and developmental learning theories and how they relate to law school teaching methods. Part III explains the teaching survey that was sent to the law schools, including the questionnaire used and the type of respondents who answered. Part IV of the Article reproduces the questionnaire results. Part V analyzes those results. This Article concludes that teaching methods should be consciously related to the learning process. Only by focusing on how students learn can a teacher truly …

Critiquing Law Students’ Writing: What The Students Say Is Effective, Anne Enquist
Critiquing Law Students’ Writing: What The Students Say Is Effective, Anne Enquist
Faculty Articles
It seemed worthwhile to study the comments legal writing instructors put on students' papers and ask the readers of those comments - the students themselves - which comments were the most useful. This article describes such a study that was conducted by the author using students and faculty at the University of Puget Sound School of Law. The results should be useful to new legal writing faculty who are striving to learn how to critique their students' writing effectively, as well as to experienced legal writing faculty who are interested in whether the conventional wisdom about critiquing is borne out …

On Seeing Chinese Law From A Chinese Point Of View: An Appreciative Look At The Scholarly Career Of Professor William Jones, Janet Ainsworth
Faculty Articles
In this appreciative review, Professor William Jones's work is used to demonstrate that sensitivity to issues of methodology are indispensable for comparative law scholars. Professor Jones's work is valuable because (1) it is marked both by an awareness of the methodological difficulties faced by the comparativist and a confidence that it is nonetheless possible to transcend these difficulties and (2) it makes a meaningful contribution to the development of an understanding of a foreign legal order. The article concludes by stating that Professor Jones's work will influence future generations of scholars trying to answer the why, what, and how of …

Jacques Of All Trades: Derrida, Lacan, And The Commercial Lawyer, Sidney Delong
Faculty Articles
Professor DeLong’s article provides humorous advice for legal professors on how to apply deconstructionist and post-Freudian theory to commercial law classes. Professor DeLong explains that the key to the successful integration of postmodern thought into your own scholarship is stunningly simple: all you have to do is not care whether you really get it right. He describes how you too will soon be turning out articles like "The Social Construction of Cowness in the Packers and Stockyards Act," or "Silencing the Lambs: Narratives of Loss and Evisceration in the Packers and Stockyards Act," or "Cattle Prods and Cutting Pens: A …

This is a story of change so sudden that it surprised even those who most fervently sought it. For nearly a decade, Seattle University School of Law has offered an extensive typical skills curriculum. All students are involved in an intensive two year writing program. The simulated Comprehensive Pretrial and Trial Advocacy Program trains over 150 students a year, while in the Law Practice Clinic, 60 students a year represent domestic and criminal clients. Course offerings that fill out the lawyering skills supports are offerings such as ADR, Negotiations, and Appellate Advocacy, along with judicial and public service externships and …

Toward An Asian American Legal Scholarship: Critical Race Theory, Post-Structuralism, And Narrative Space, Robert S. Chang
Toward An Asian American Legal Scholarship: Critical Race Theory, Post-Structuralism, And Narrative Space, Robert S. Chang
Faculty Articles
As Asian Americans join the legal academy in growing numbers, they change the face of the academy and challenge its traditional legal doctrines. The author announces an "'Asian American Moment" in the legal academy and an opportunity to reverse the pattern of discrimination against Asian Americans. Traditional civil rights work and current critical race scholarship fail to address the unique issues for Asian Americans, including nativistic racism and the model minority myth. Space must be made in the legal academy for an Asian American Legal Scholarship and the narratives of Asian Americans. The author asserts that the rational-empirical mode is …

History Of The University Of Puget Sound School Of Law, Anita M. Steele
History Of The University Of Puget Sound School Of Law, Anita M. Steele
Seattle University Law Review
This essay presents the history of the University of Puget Sound School of Law. Founded in 1972, the law school is a relatively young institution, still in its teens. Its gestation period, however, extends back at least sixty years. As long ago as 1912, prominent Tacoma attorneys proposed to found a law school associated with the University of Puget Sound (UPS). In the ensuing years, officials at UPS periodically raised the issue of creating a law school. Various studies were undertaken, but it was not until the late 1960s that a school of law was considered again as seriously as …

The Future Of Liberal Legal Scholarship, David Skover, Ronald Collins
Faculty Articles
Earl Warren is dead. A generation of liberal legal scholars continues, nevertheless, to act as if the man and his Court preside over the present. While this romanticism is understandable, it exacts a high price in a world transformed. The following commentary is a reconstructive criticism written from the perspective of two liberals concerned about the future of "legal liberalism." The author’s present their views as a commentary to emphasize their preliminary character; they represent thier current assessment of where liberals stand and where they might redirect their energies. In Part I, they outline the reasons for believing that there …
