Telling Stories About Health Insurance: Using New Films In The Classroom, Elizabeth Pendo
Telling Stories About Health Insurance: Using New Films In The Classroom, Elizabeth Pendo
Articles
In keeping with the theme of "The Mass Media's Influence on Health Law and Policy," this essay is designed to share my experience using clips from three recent popular films as a method of enhancing coverage and discussion of legal and policy issues surrounding the private health insurance system, and to provide some practical advice for others interested in doing the same. It builds upon a presentation that I gave along with Professors Timothy S. Hall and Ross D. Silverman at the 2004 Health Law Teachers Conference entitled "Health Law, Policy and Media," and was inspired by Professor Paul Bergman's …
The New Japanese Law Schools: Putting The Professional Into Legal Education, James R. Maxeiner, Keiichi Yamanaka
The New Japanese Law Schools: Putting The Professional Into Legal Education, James R. Maxeiner, Keiichi Yamanaka
Washington International Law Journal
In April 2004, more than sixty law schools began operation in Japan. Legal education, previously treated as a combination of undergraduate education in law and extra-university training in professional skills, will now be concentrated in new professional law schools. The reforms of Japanese legal education are intended both to produce more attorneys in a nation that has a shortage of legally trained professionals, and to help increase the role of law in Japanese society generally. In order for Japan's new law schools to achieve their educational objectives, they must successfully address a host of conceptual, pedagogical and organizational challenges. Foremost …
The Process For Becoming A Law School Professor In The United States, Daniel H. Foote
The Process For Becoming A Law School Professor In The United States, Daniel H. Foote
Articles
As the process of legal education reform in Japan, centered on the establishment of a new tier of professional graduate schools in law, moves forward, one issue that has arisen is how law professors will be trained in coming years. In that connection, I am frequently asked what the typical route is for training law school professors in the US. Based in part on an examination of the backgrounds prior to entering law teaching for over 500 law professors at eight US law schools and on personal experiences (including serving for three years on the appointments committee at the University …

Keiken, Tayōsei, Soshite Hō [Experience, Diversity, And The Law], Daniel H. Foote
Chapters in Books
This essay was published in 2003, in Japanese, as my contribution to a tribute volume honoring Nozaki Ayako, a Ph.D. candidate at The University of Tokyo who passed away suddenly earlier that year. In an article she published in 1999, Nozaki had offered a thoughtful, perceptive critique of an article I had published four years before, dealing with the resolution of traffic accident disputes in Japan. Her article led me to reflect on the reasons for the difference in our views; and that in turn led to this essay. As indicated in the title, two key themes of this essay …
Whose Deal Is It? Teaching About Structural Inequality By Teaching Contracts Transactionally, Kellye Y. Testy
Whose Deal Is It? Teaching About Structural Inequality By Teaching Contracts Transactionally, Kellye Y. Testy
Articles
Although Scott Burnham and others have urged the use of more contracts to teach Contracts for some time,'9 it is safe to say that the majority of Contracts courses in the United States do not put actual contracts front and center. While particular phrases or provisions surely are referenced in the steady diet of appellate decisions that comprise the first-year course, those decisions very rarely include the actual contract at issue for study. Moreover, in the increased compression of the first year course," few professors believe they can justify the time for transactional exercises or simulations in the rush to …
Probability And Statistics In The Legal Curriculum: A Case Study In Disciplinary Aspects Of Interdisciplinarity, Michael Townsend
Probability And Statistics In The Legal Curriculum: A Case Study In Disciplinary Aspects Of Interdisciplinarity, Michael Townsend
Articles
This Article considers interdisciplinarity and the legal curriculum in the context of probability and statistics. Section D of Part II begins the discussion by sketching some multidisciplinary, pluridisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary approaches. Part III is the workhorse of this Article. The particular example used here is the well-known jury discrimination case of Castaneda v. Partida as described in Section A. This "case study" provides the basis for a crossdisciplinary experience that offers students an opportunity to think about law as a discipline. It is difficult for students to step back and look at law as a discipline when there is …
Kathleen A. Sullivan: A True Teacher's Teacher, Christine N. Cimini
Kathleen A. Sullivan: A True Teacher's Teacher, Christine N. Cimini
Articles
This essay is part of a group of five memorial tributes to Professor Kathleen A. Sullivan of the Yale Law School. The group of tributes reflect on the numerous contributions Professor Sullivan made to her colleagues, students, clients and the clinical education community. In this memoriam tribute, the authors explore three themes that Professor Sullivan cared deeply about: thinking critically about confidentiality, privacy and autonomy; incorporating issues of difference into our teaching and practices; and encouraging people (students, clients and colleagues) to find and assert their own voices, even – and especially – when those voices are different than ours.
Victimized Twice -- The Intersection Of Domestic Violence And The Workplace: Legal Reform Through Curriculum Development, Lea B. Vaughn
Victimized Twice -- The Intersection Of Domestic Violence And The Workplace: Legal Reform Through Curriculum Development, Lea B. Vaughn
Articles
Domestic violence is at least a two-fold problem for American society. On the one hand, it is one of the leading causes of violence at the workplace against women. On the other, it prevents many women from attaining the economic security that would enable them to escape violence. After describing the background of this problem, this paper will canvass current legal remedies that are available to help battered women achieve economic security. This survey leads to the conclusion that the current pastiche of remedies is often ineffective because of their piecemeal approach to the problem, or because current doctrine does …

Law Student Advocates And Conflicts Of Interest, Adrienne Thomas Mccoy
Law Student Advocates And Conflicts Of Interest, Adrienne Thomas Mccoy
Washington Law Review
Law students who represent clients under attorney supervision are subject to no clear conflict of interest rules. Whether they are considered lawyers or nonlawyers for purposes of each state's ethics rules is uncertain. Available rules governing lawyer and nonlawyer conflicts of interest ignore the competing interests of legal education, law student employment, clients, and public service. This Comment proposes a student conflict of interest rule that balances these interests by (1) holding student advocates to high ethical standards and (2) allowing screening to cure most conflicts that occur within student representation and that would otherwise handicap students in future employment

Integrating Alternative Dispute Resolution (Adr) Into The Curriculum At The University Of Washington School Of Law: A Report And Reflections, Lea B. Vaughn
Articles
The essay is framed in two basic parts. In the first part, it describes the program of integration that was undertaken at the University of Washington during the 1995-1997 period of the Fund for the Improvement of Post-Secondary Education (FIPSE) grant. After describing the context in which these curricular changes were made, it describes the changes in years one and two of the grant program. Additional changes that have occurred subsequent to the final grant report in October 1997 also will be summarized. One of the lessons that emerges from our experience is that change will be an incremental, long …

Gasshūkoku Ni Okeru Hōgakkai To Hōjitsumukai [The Worlds Of Academics And Legal Practice In The United States], Daniel H. Foote
Gasshūkoku Ni Okeru Hōgakkai To Hōjitsumukai [The Worlds Of Academics And Legal Practice In The United States], Daniel H. Foote
Articles
I prepared this paper for a symposium entitled, "Academics and Practitioners in Japan and the United States: Can the Two Worlds Ever Meet?" When I saw the symposium title, my first reaction was that it might seem strange to ask whether the worlds of academics and legal practice can ever meet in the United States. After all, to a large degree the history of the law school in the United States has been that of an institution dedicated to the training of legal practitioners; the vast majority of US law professors are members of the bar; and many, if not …
Another "Postscript" To "The Growing Disjunction Between Legal Education And The Legal Profession", Harry T. Edwards
Another "Postscript" To "The Growing Disjunction Between Legal Education And The Legal Profession", Harry T. Edwards
Washington Law Review
"The Gap Between Legal Education and the Needs of the Profession," the subject of this symposium, is a matter about which I have had much to say over the past two years. In the October 1992 edition of the Michigan Law Review, I expressed my deep concern about "the growing disjunction between legal education and the legal profession," in an article with the same title.
