Do Pigs Need Wings? Introductory Thoughts On Law Reviews, Errors, And The Coase Theorem, Stephen Calkins

Law Faculty Research Publications

Ever since shepherd children stumbled upon the Dead Sea Scrolls, a small group of scholars controlled access to these writings. These scholars painstakingly edited and published so far about half the historic texts. Scholars not numbered among the select few complained of the arrogance implicit in limiting access to the original materials. Now the critics have their chance. In late 1991 the Biblical Archaeology Society published a "facsimile edition" of the previously unpublished scrolls. Professor Robert H. Eisenman, coeditor of the new edition, boasted that this was "'the last stage in breaking the monopoly' of authorized editors over the scroll …

How New Information Technologies Will Change The Way Law Professors Do And Distribute Scholarship, Peter W. Martin

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

Using a typology of legal scholars, Professor Martin explores the impact of new information technology on their work. His analysis suggests that increased use of electronic media in legal scholarship is likely to have a profound effect on the institutional structures of law schools, and he raises doubts about the continuing need for traditional academic law libraries in the future.

The Future Of Law Librarians In Changing Institutions, Or The Hazards And Opportunities Of New Information Technology, Peter W. Martin

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

It is uncontroverted that a major technological shift in the delivery of legal information is well underway. What will be the effects of these changes on law librarians and, more importantly, what opportunities will the changes create? Professor Martin suggests several opportunities stemming from the distinctive competencies of law librarians.

Teaching Students How To "Think Like Lawyers": Integrating Socratic Method With The Writing Process, Mary Beth Beazley, Mary Kate Kearney

Scholarly Works

Professor Beazley begins this article with an overview of how Socratic method and the writing process have traditionally been used and how they can be integrated in the legal writing course. The remainder of the article is devoted to an analysis of how this integration can be achieved in a five-step structured dialogue. She and her co-author identified these five steps as: (1) the assignment, or "instigating question"; (2) the student's written answer, in a series of "focused drafts" with "private memos"; (3) the teacher's written response, using Socratic questions whenever possible; (4) the conference, where the teacher can use …

Research In A Changing World Of Law And Technology, Morris L. Cohen

Dalhousie Law Journal

As a long-time friend and admirer of legal education at Dalhousie, it is an honor and a pleasure for me to offer the Read lecture this year. It is particularly warming to have Mrs. Read and the next two generations of Reads here today, since Dean Read was the strongest proponent of the law library's development during his deanship here. One of the designated topics for these lectures has been legal education. With the dedication of the addition to the Weldon Building housing the restored Sir James Dunn Law Library, and the designation of a librarian, for the first time, …

Scholarship Amok: Excesses In The Pursuit Of Truth And Tenure, Kenneth Lasson

All Faculty Scholarship

In 1937, when Fred Rodell issued his once-famous diatribe, some 150 law-related journals were being published (not to mention thousands of local newspapers and countless full-color comic books). Now there are over eight hundred legal periodicals (not to mention a drastically dwindled number of daily papers, and precious few comics). Both Solomon and Rodell have been all but forgotten. What, indeed, have we wrought? Although Rodell predicted his original panning would have no effect, could he have anticipated the sheer dimensions of this worst-case scenario - that his "professional purveyors of pretentious poppycock" would have spawned so furiously, that the …

Joining Hands And Smarts: Teaching Manual Legal Research Through Collaborative Learning Groups, Thomas Michael Mcdonnell

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

My hypothesis was that a group of law students who research a problem together will learn legal research better than students who work individually. I further hypothesized that if the group research could be undertaken during class time under the direct supervision of the instructor and the teaching assistant, the students would be less intimidated by manual research tools and would be better prepared to work on their own. The following three-step method was employed: (1) the students read about the tool; (2) the instructor discussed the tool in class; and (3) immediately following the discussion, students went to the …

The Public Dimension In Legal Education, Mark R. Macguigan

Dalhousie Law Journal

Legal education, while always a subject of fascination to law students and professors, only periodically becomes a matter of more general interest. But that is what I believe has happened in Canada in the mid-1980s as the result of three publishing events.
