Teaching The Common Law In The French Language, Michel Bastarache Apr 1983

Teaching The Common Law In The French Language, Michel Bastarache

Dalhousie Law Journal

There are many difficulties associated with the setting up of a new law school; these difficulties were compounded at the Universit6 de Moncton with considerations relative to the language of instruction, the particularities of the clientele, it being relatively small and unconcentrated geographically, the lack of a legal tradition in French language communities outside of Quebec. My purpose here is not to analyse in a general way the experience of the last four years at the Universit6 de Moncton, but to consider only one aspect of this experience, the one which is the most often put to me in the …

Foreword, Bora Laskin Right Honourable Mar 1982

Foreword, Bora Laskin Right Honourable

Dalhousie Law Journal

I am an unabashed admirer of John Willis; and I have credentials that entitle me to speak of his teaching and his writing. We were law school colleagues for some fifteen years and were close personal friends for an even longer period. We remain such close friends today. What was remarkable about John Willis was the range of his teaching. I doubt that any other full-time teacher, at a time when the curriculum was limited and structured, exhibited his command of as many. subjects. Let me list the important ones: administrative (and constitutional) law; history of English law; equity (including …

What Makes A Law School Great?, Willis L. M. Reese Nov 1980

What Makes A Law School Great?, Willis L. M. Reese

Dalhousie Law Journal

Of course I have no idea what makes a law school great. I have never really thought about it. There is no reason why a fellow in my lowly position should think about it. You can't arrive at my age and still be reasonably healthy if you do think about it. So I don't know. Dean Ronald Macdonald said "why don't you say something about what makes a law school great?" My reaction was to shudder. I did think about if for about ten minutes on Saturday and I have come up with the most obvious thoughts, all of which …

Why Substantive Criminal Law - A Dialogue, Sanford H. Kadish Jan 1980

Why Substantive Criminal Law - A Dialogue, Sanford H. Kadish

Cleveland State Law Review

In this dialogue, I have tried to address criticisms of the substantive criminal law, as a course and as a subject matter, made by a number of my students over several decades of teaching the subject. In away it is rather personal since it consists of the criticisms of my students and my apologia for what I have tried to do. That, however, would hardly be worth doing unless it is the case, as I believe it is, that these criticisms are widespread and that my responses speak to what is generally done in criminal law courses in this country.

The Role Of The Law School In The Teaching Of Legal Ethics And Professional Responsibility, Warren E. Burger Jan 1980

The Role Of The Law School In The Teaching Of Legal Ethics And Professional Responsibility, Warren E. Burger

Cleveland State Law Review

My thesis is simple and straightforward. Every law school has a profound duty-and a unique opportunity-to inculcate principles of professional ethics and standards in its students. This duty should permeate the entire educational experience beginning with the first hour of the first day in law school.

What Is Taught In The First Year Property Course?, John A. Humbach Jan 1978

What Is Taught In The First Year Property Course?, John A. Humbach

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

The battle over the first-year curriculum will unlikely ever end so long as there is a diversity of views as to what ought to be taught there. Because first-year courses are both a requirement (for the most part) and an initiation, most would probably agree that their subject matter should tend to emphasize the fundamental and general, not the esoteric or the highly specialized areas of legal knowledge. Nevertheless, first year subject matter should not be so abstractly "general" that it is too far removed from the real issues which a practical lawyer is likely to face. Beyond this, agreement …

A Few Words About Law Teaching, Robert A. Leflar Jan 1969

A Few Words About Law Teaching, Robert A. Leflar

Cleveland State Law Review

The purpose of these few paragraphs will be to look for a quick moment at the law teacher's job as it appears both in retrospect and prospect to one whose law school teaching spans more than forty years and whose fortunate experience at working with other jobs in the law has given him reason to appreciate mightily the happy chance that led him as a youth into the teaching branch of the legal profession.
