Cres Programs For Legal Education, David S. Bogen, Eric Sherbine Jan 2012

Cres Programs For Legal Education, David S. Bogen, Eric Sherbine

Faculty Scholarship

Students complain that they do not get enough feedback on their progress through the year. Faculty members complain that students cannot write, although they often mean that students cannot analyze in writing. But mid-semester examinations are a pain to grade and often do not cover enough material to challenge students in recognizing the issues. Multiple choice examinations are weak choices for issue spotting, time consuming to construct, and offer no opportunity for writing. Most forms of examination grading do not really help the student understand exactly what they should be doing. Sample answers alone may or may not be read, …

Can They Work Well On A Team? Assessing Students' Collaborative Skills, Sophie M. Sparrow Jan 2012

Can They Work Well On A Team? Assessing Students' Collaborative Skills, Sophie M. Sparrow

Law Faculty Scholarship

[Excerpt] "Among the many critiques of legal education are criticisms that law students do not graduate with effective emotional intelligence skills-in particular, they have not learned to work well with others. Working with others is an important legal skill; and as law practice increasingly relies on collaboration among lawyers, legal staff, clients, and other individuals, so have legal employers raised the demand for effective collaborative skills among law students and recent graduates.

This essay will focus on ways to engage students in collaborating and assessing that collaboration effectively. Students' interpersonal collaborative skills can be effectively taught and assessed in large …


Developing Attorneys For The Future: What Can We Learn From The Fast Trackers?, Lori Berman, Heather Bock, Juliet R. Aiken Jan 2012

Developing Attorneys For The Future: What Can We Learn From The Fast Trackers?, Lori Berman, Heather Bock, Juliet R. Aiken

CSLP Papers & Reports

Leaders in law firms tend to be those attorneys who thrive in a law firm environment from the beginning—successful associates who become successful partners. Later, they are asked to be the leaders of practice areas, committees and, ultimately, part of senior management. While high-performing associates may not be formally promoted to leadership positions for some time, it is important to understand what makes them—as young associates—stand out from their peers. Who are these future leaders, and what qualities predict their advancement in a law firm environment? These are the questions we set out to explore.

To date, little empirical work …

Senses Of Sen: Reflections On Amartya Sen’S Ideas Of Justice, César Arjona, Arif A. Jamal, Carrie Menkel-Meadow, Victor V. Ramraj, Francisco Satiro

Faculty Papers & Publications

This review essay explores how Amartya Sen’s recent book, The Idea of Justice, is relevant and important for the development and assessment of transnational theories and applications to transnational justice and legal education programs. The essay captures a trans-jural dialogue of multinational scholars and teachers, discussing Sen’s contributions to moral justice theory (criticizing programs for “transcendental institutionalism” (like Rawlsian theory) and instead focusing on “comparative broadening” including empirical, relative, and comparative assessments of programs to ameliorate injustice in the world in its comparative concreteness (as in Indian social justice theory and Adam Smith’s Theory of Moral Sentiments and related …

Misadventures Of A Law School Misfit, Harvey Gilmore Jan 2012

Misadventures Of A Law School Misfit, Harvey Gilmore

Duquesne Law Review

If the brilliant, legendary playwright Rod Serling were still with us, he might have described a law school graduate's credentials something like this-consider if you will, the law school graduate's perfect resume: 1) graduated first in his class from "Ivy League University"; 2) graduated first in his class from "Ivy League Law School"; 3) law review editor; and 4) elevation to Big-Firm partnership.
