Working With Non-Law School Patrons, Ashley A. Ahlbrand

Books & Book Chapters by Maurer Faculty

Ashley Ahlbrand's contribution to the open access textbook, Introduction to Law Librarianship, is chapter 17, "Working with Non-law School Patrons."

Working in an academic law library, the primary patrons are the law school’s faculty and students. However, these may not be the exclusive patronage of the law library. Particularly in the case of a public law school library, the law librarian is likely to serve patrons outside of the law school as well. These patrons come from a diversity of backgrounds, with a range of legal research needs. Working with non-law school patrons can present a number of challenges …

How Serving Jobless Workers During The Pandemic’S Economic Recession Grounded Students: A Reflection From Michigan’S Workers’ Rights Clinic, Rachael Kohl, Nancy Vettorello

Articles

The COVID-19 pandemic drastically changed the delivery of legal education. Many courses switched to remote instruction, and that change was particularly complicated for clinical courses. For Michigan's Workers' Right Clinic (WRC), however, the pandemic brought more than a change in course delivery - it brought a huge influx of new cases and community need with rapidly and continually changing laws. This article describes how the WRC navigated and thrived, despite the rapid changes brought about by the pandemic, and how the clinic provided an opportunity for students to engage in more complex work that benefited students both academically and mentally. …

Legal Education In Indonesia, Adriaan Bedner, Jacqueline Vel

The Indonesian Journal of Socio-Legal Studies

Many of the discussions about legal education in Indonesia are similar to the ones conducted in other countries. They reflect the tension between a liberal legal education on the one hand and a vocational training on the other, as well as the tension between a legal education preparing students for legal practice and one preparing them for a broad range of generalist positions. However, we argue that legal education in Indonesia is also marred by problems of the legal system itself and by a lack of communication between its constituent parts – the judiciary, the legislative, the bar, public prosecutors, …

Legal Education For The Future Of Indonesia: A Critical Assessment, Sulistyowati Irianto

The Indonesian Journal of Socio-Legal Studies

This paper aims to analyze the extent to which higher education in law is able to prepare graduates to think critically and respond in a reform-minded way to changes in society. Legal developments have always been unable to catch up with the speed of change in society, especially due to political constraints in the law-making process. This paper aims to explain the position of legal education which attempts to bridge the gap between the law-making process, the existing normative legal system, and community development. To what extent are legal education managers open to formulating and implementing the curriculum? Is there …

A Sociolegal Perspective To Legal Research In The Digital Field: A Methodological Proposition (Penelitian Hukum Berperspektif Sosiolegal Pada Ranah Digital: Satu Tawaran Metodologis), Lidwina Inge Nurtjahyo

The Indonesian Journal of Socio-Legal Studies

Technological developments have brought people, capital, goods, ideas, and even laws into mobility. During the Covid-19 pandemic, technology made mobility possible. Adaptation to pandemic situations occurs by changing physical interactions into interactions in the digital space with the help of technology. These changes also bring consequences to changes in the way of society's law. For example, digital transactions no longer require the presence of a customer or online trials. The challenge that arises then is how to find the method to conduct legal research during the pandemic situation. One of the options presents is socio-legal research conducted digitally. The focal …

Relational Social Theories And Legal Pluralism, Keebet Von Benda-Beckman

The Indonesian Journal of Socio-Legal Studies

Recent sociological, anthropological, and psychological research points at a shared problem: Are humans separate and autonomous entities, or must they be seen through the lens of extended, permeable, fractured notions of personhood? This paper discusses some crucial implications for the study of law and legal pluralism. Legal orders may differ in the degrees to which personhood is taken as embedded. At the same time, notions of personhood may also be more or less bounded, with particular fields within legal orders also espousing different degrees of personal autonomy. That depends on how political preferences shape specific issues at the time legislation …

The States Position Regarding Registration Of Customary Land (Orientasi Negara Dalam Pendaftaran Tanah Adat Di Indonesia), Rikardo Simarmata

The Indonesian Journal of Socio-Legal Studies

Indonesian Agrarian Law syncretically aims to create a national legal unity and respecting customary rights to land at the same time. The second aim is to tolerate the diversity in national land law. In the implementation of customary land registration, these two objectives do not appear to be in sync. In fact, the first objective is very important, which causes the second goal to receive very little attention. This paper sees that the process of customary land registration shows the tensions in achieving these two objectives. The paper will explain how the Indonesian government subordinates the second objective. In fact, …

Calls To Eliminate Bar Exams Are Premature, A. Benjamin Spencer

Popular Media

Calls for eliminating bar exams to improve fairness and diversity in the legal profession are increasing, but A. Benjamin Spencer, dean of William & Mary Law School, argues that eliminating them is not the answer. They should be transformed into a more effective gauge of professional readiness, which, he contends, can be achieved if more states adopt the Uniform Bar Exam.
