The Spirit Of Justice, Henry Ramsey Jr.
The Spirit Of Justice, Henry Ramsey Jr.
Cleveland State Law Review
This "Justice Mission" conference is organized around a topic that is of great importance throughout the world. I underscore throughout the world. The American Bar Association, with the lead being taken in part by the Section of Legal Education and Admission to the Bar, is engaged in what is known as the Central and Eastern European Law Initiative (CEELI). This is an attempt to work with law schools, law teachers and law administrators in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe; to bring to them the benefits of the American legal educational system as they attempt to deal with the …
Law Schools, The Justice Mission, And Bob Mckay, John Sexton
Law Schools, The Justice Mission, And Bob Mckay, John Sexton
Cleveland State Law Review
The general points I make link to the justice mission of law schools. We must produce people prepared to practice at the very highest levels; and we must produce the kind of detached thinking that one associates with a great research institution. Most of us were educated in the system created by Langdell: the casebook method. It is startling that Langdell's method enjoys the pervasive dominance of legal education that it does. The notion of a static corpus juris which provided the foundation upon which Langdell built his model is impossible to maintain. Another general observation, the demographics of our …

In viewing the agenda for this conference, Bob McKay, as a chronicler of justice, might sound some words of caution. First, I know he would point out that the starting point for achieving the justice mission of American law schools is with the law professor. Second, while I note that one workshop is devoted to the topic, "The Justice Mission of the Legal Profession," I fail to observe a session devoted to a topic that was of deep concern to Bob McKay, namely, the justice mission of the law professor within the legal profession. Third, it is not sufficient for …
The Distinction Between Lawyers As Advocates And As Activists; And The Role Of The Law School Dean In Facilitating The Justice Mission, James Douglas
The Distinction Between Lawyers As Advocates And As Activists; And The Role Of The Law School Dean In Facilitating The Justice Mission, James Douglas
Cleveland State Law Review
When David Barnhizer invited me to be involved in the Justice Mission conference I jumped at the opportunity; because justice is an issue that is extremely important to me, especially being a person of color in America. In presenting my ideas about the justice mission, I will be talking about two distinct concerns. One is the role of the law school dean in facilitating the justice mission in the law schools. The second is related but applies even more broadly since it draws upon the experiences of lawyers both in their roles as practitioners and as social activists. The point …
Building Bridges Between Theory And Practice, Scholarship And Activism, Elizabeth M. Schneider
Building Bridges Between Theory And Practice, Scholarship And Activism, Elizabeth M. Schneider
Cleveland State Law Review
The recent events of the last few weeks, the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings concerning Anita Hill's allegations of sexual harassment against Clarence Thomas, and Clarence Thomas' confirmation to the Supreme Court, have shaken the nation and I'm sure all of us in this room. These events underscore the urgency and challenge of the justice mission of legal education. In these remarks, I will briefly explore a critical dimension of this mission, the building of bridges between theory and practice, scholarship and activism, in American legal education. Our presence here signifies our commitment to the idea that law schools have a …
Advocacy Strategies In Social Welfare Policy: Homelessness, Barbara Sard
Advocacy Strategies In Social Welfare Policy: Homelessness, Barbara Sard
Cleveland State Law Review
I currently direct the homelessness unit at Greater Boston Legal Services after having been a welfare lawyer for fifteen years. When I first started teaching at Harvard about six years ago, I taught a course on Welfare Law. There is a value in teaching homelessness law as a discrete topic rather than lumping it under the traditional topics of welfare law or housing law. Initially, when I started teaching at Harvard, my goal was to impress the students with the fact that a poverty law subject like Welfare Law was as complicated doctrinally as anything else that they might learn. …
Teaching Morality, Robert A. Solomon
Teaching Morality, Robert A. Solomon
Cleveland State Law Review
Students come to law school filled with passion, with morality, with a sense of justice, and we, the law school itself, spends three years doing our best to crush them under the weight of the rule of law instead of helping them to integrate their ideas and values with the law. To the extent students are looking at clinics, they are not only looking at them as a means of touching reality. They are looking at clinics as a furlough from prison. In this conference we are talking about our goal as being that of trying to teach justice. I …
Teaching About Justice Through Creative Strategies, Anthony G. Amsterdam
Teaching About Justice Through Creative Strategies, Anthony G. Amsterdam
Cleveland State Law Review
When discussing justice, it helps us to look at our legal institutions from outside the narrow, closed circle in which most of us operate most of the time or believe we operate. Part of the problem is that all of our legal institutions and much of our rationality are the products of an evolution that is only several thousand years old. But we have a set of instincts and a neurological system that have evolved over more than a million and a half years. Human beings became human and they still live in the shadow of the cave. Our instinct …
Nurturing The Impulse For Justice, Lynne Henderson
Nurturing The Impulse For Justice, Lynne Henderson
Cleveland State Law Review
By dwelling on doctrine and appellate case analysis we too often lose sight of the underlying assumptions behind the law and the social consequences of the law. By doing so we fail to give students even a glimmer of understanding as to what they need to know to fight injustice effectively. We spend much classroom time rationalizing the real and evading difficult questions of social justice. We do almost nothing to help our students develop any sense of justice or injustice or ways of identifying how the law produces justice and injustice. Let me work through an example of how …
Book Review Of Dangerous Supplements: Resistance And Renewal In Jurisprudence, Richard F. Devlin Frsc
Book Review Of Dangerous Supplements: Resistance And Renewal In Jurisprudence, Richard F. Devlin Frsc
Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press
Dangerous Supplements: Resistance and Renewal in Jurisprudence (1991 ), edited by Peter Fitzpatrick, is the first instalment in a new series, Law and Social Theory, being published by the progressive British publisher Pluto Press. As someone who had been subjected to an intensely positivistic- perhaps even authoritarian- jurisprudential, undergraduate education in Belfast, both the title and the dustcover intrigued me. The latter portrays a towering, seemingly unassailable, citadel with "jurisprudence" inscribed upon it, being bombarded by paper planes with the insignia of critical theory, semiotics, feminism, postmodernism and "new ideas." This image led me to wonder whether the book would …

Pre-Figuration And Evaluation, Pierre Schlag
Pre-Figuration And Evaluation, Pierre Schlag
Publications
In this response to Professor Rubin, Professor Schlag argues that a prescriptive theory of evaluation does not free an evaluator from the bias inherent in his own pre-figurations. On the contrary, the belief that better evaluative criteria will advance the cause of fairer evaluation is itself an effect of flawed and unrationalized pre-figurations of conventional legal thought. Professor Schlag argues that the evaluation question and its attendant disputes arise from a more significant development--the unraveling of the dominant paradigm of legal thought, the decomposition of normative legal thought.

Law Schools Should Be About Justice Too, Henry Rose
Law Schools Should Be About Justice Too, Henry Rose
Cleveland State Law Review
Millions of low and middle-income Americans face legal problems every day. Most cannot afford an attorney. What is remarkable about these legal problems is that they are ignored by legal educators. American law schools, the training ground for our lawyers, do not focus on the civil legal problems of low and middle income persons. American law students are taught to focus on the legal problems of persons or entities able to pay for legal services. Not only are the common legal problems of Americans not studied in our law schools, the maldistribution of legal services in the society is barely …
On Bringing The Justice Mission Conference Back Home, Marjorie A. Silver
On Bringing The Justice Mission Conference Back Home, Marjorie A. Silver
Cleveland State Law Review
The Justice Mission Conference had a special resonance for me. The Conference was an affirmation of the values that have led me to Touro, as well as a springboard for changes in my own teaching. The Conference nurtured inclinations and aspirations to furthering social justice through our teaching, our scholarship, and the way we relate to our students, to each other and to the world at large. The papers in this symposium memorialize the Conference's richness of insight and experience. The purpose of this essay is to reflect on the immediate and potential ongoing impact the Conference had on me …
The Justice Mission Of The Law Schools, Linda Greene
The Justice Mission Of The Law Schools, Linda Greene
Cleveland State Law Review
A Conference on the Justice Mission of the Law Schools is timely, and Martin Luther King, Jr.'s words about being “a drum major for justice” offer to us a vision of that mission. They demand that we reexamine the role of the law school to determine whether we have taken into account the question of justice while ordering our institutional priorities. The title of this conference implicitly asks whether we can continue to reproduce legal culture without evaluating the impact of that culture on both the powerful as well as the powerless. Legal educational institutions cannot right all historical wrongs …
The Justice Mission Of American Law Schools, David Barnhizer
The Justice Mission Of American Law Schools, David Barnhizer
Cleveland State Law Review
Justice has been seen by many scholars as a premise about which much can be said but virtually nothing either proved or disproved through the application of the methodologies that provide the grounding for science. While justice is undeniably representative of a slippery and evasive set of concepts, it paradoxically reflects the fundamental values of Western society without which we cannot hold together the thin tissue of political organization that we call the "Rule of Law." As is described in the latter part of this article, justice is in fact a simple meta-principle, one about which we need not be …

Incorporating Into A Seminar Or Clinical Course The Representation Of An Indigent Death Row Inmate Seeking Certiorari In The United States Supreme Court, Margery Malkin Koosed
Cleveland State Law Review
It appeared at the Justice Mission Conference that there was general consensus on several matters. First, there seemed to be considerable support for "bringing more doses of reality into the classroom." Second, many faculty wished to encourage a greater sense of professional service among their students. Third, a good number of criminal justice section members observed that capital case decisions of the United States Supreme Court were fine vehicles for class discussion of essential issues. In keeping with these views, I have concluded that I will once again include in my upcoming seminar course an opportunity for students to assist …
Research And The Justice Mission Of Law Schools, Mark Tushnet
Research And The Justice Mission Of Law Schools, Mark Tushnet
Cleveland State Law Review
There are some obvious things to say about research and the justice mission of law schools, and many other contributors to this discussion have said them. For example, jurisprudence lies at the core of the classical legal curriculum, and-at least in the contemporary law school-definitions of justice are part of the jurisprudence syllabus. Because the concept of justice is not self-defining, conceptual inquiry into the meaning of justice, a traditional mode of legal research, is recurrently needed. In this way, research is tightly linked to the justice mission of law schools. In this piece, I move from global concerns--jurisprudence in …

The Burdens Of Educational Loans: The Impacts Of Debt On Job Choice And Standards Of Living For Students At Nine American Law Schools, David L. Chambers
Articles
American law students are borrowing large sums of money. For graduates at many schools, cumulative debts of $40,000 from college and law school have become the norm, and debts of $50,000, $60,000, and even more are common. The sums students are borrowing are much larger today than they were ten years ago, even after adjusting for increases in the cost of living. They have risen at a considerably faster pace than the starting salaries at small law firms and government agencies. They have even risen at a faster pace than the starting salaries in many large firms. The new pattern …
