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
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 …

And Then Suddenly Seattle University Was On Its Way To A Parallel, Integrative Curriculum, John B. Mitchell, B. Hollingsworth, P. Clark, R. Lidman
Faculty Articles
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 …

In a tribute to Andrew Walkover, Dean James Bond revisits the first meeting he had with Professor Walkover. Dean Bond’s impression of Professor Walkover, with whom he worked for six months, was that he had a marvelous sense of humor, a shrewd insight into other people's motivations, and a detached sense of compassion. He delighted in personalities and politics, and his colleagues delighted in him.

The Future Of Liberal Legal Scholarship, David Skover, Ronald Collins
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 …
Audiovisual Enhancement Of Classroom Teaching: A Primer For Law Professors, Vincent R. Johnson
Audiovisual Enhancement Of Classroom Teaching: A Primer For Law Professors, Vincent R. Johnson
Faculty Articles
It is increasingly hard to avoid the idea that audiovisual techniques are appropriate—if not essential—to the contemporary law school classroom. Audiovisual aids are already widely employed in the practice of law, continuing legal education, and in most fields of higher and professional education. Yet, what little empirical evidence exists suggests that modern media techniques have had little impact on the traditional law school classroom. Thus it is relevant to ask whether and how audiovisual media can effectively augment the teaching of standard substantive law courses.
Symbol And Substance In The Minority Professoriat's Future, Henry Mcgee
Symbol And Substance In The Minority Professoriat's Future, Henry Mcgee
Faculty Articles
Professor McGee addresses the issues faced by minority professors. In an environment that is mostly white, the minority professor is confronted with problems simply by being present on campus. The minority professor also faces significant dilemmas with respect to his/her own community. As increasing numbers of minorities fall farther below the national socio-economic and social indicators, and racial isolation deepens and becomes more pervasive, the minority law professor becomes estranged from his/her own community.

Equal Access To Law (School), Bill Piatt
Faculty Articles
One of the most rewarding aspects of serving on the law faculty at Washburn University School of Law has been the opportunity to recruit women and minority students and to serve as the faculty advisor to the Hispanic American Law Student Association. Following are some of my thoughts regarding the reasons for attracting more women and minorities to the legal profession. The comments relate to a legal education because that is my background; the principles I discuss should be equally applicable to other graduate programs as well.
The Problems And Promise Of Black Men Of Law, Henry Mcgee
The Problems And Promise Of Black Men Of Law, Henry Mcgee
Faculty Articles
Professor McGee discusses the Black legal community's fight from the 1930s through the 1950s that eliminated the constitutional support of racial segregation and discrimination. Given the monumental obstacles which historically have plagued black lawyers, it is remarkable how many have succeeded despite the discrimination. While this article touches on some of the difficulties and limitations of the black bar, it must be stressed that there is a tradition of leadership and service among black lawyers that provides a solid foundation for the relatively large numbers of advocates that return to their communities. Building on this tradition of leadership, there are …

Minority Students In Law School: Black Lawyers And The Struggle For Racial Justice In The American Social Order, Henry Mcgee
Faculty Articles
Professor McGee addresses the endeavor of Black Americans--their struggle against discrimination and segregation--and their entry into law school and the legal profession. The emerging cadre of Black law students represents the newest source of leadership in the struggle for Black liberation. They are part of a surging tide of blackness that may yet save the nation from the decay and death of racism. As such they command attention and respect.
