Two And A Half Ethical Theories: Re-Examining The Foundations Of The Carnegie Report, Mark F. Kightlinger
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
In the past three years, the American Bar Association, several major state bar associations, the Association of American Law Schools, the New York Times, law students, and many legal educators have called for fundamental changes in the way we educate new lawyers. Some critics have suggested that legal education faces a crisis that will be exacerbated by rising tuitions, declining enrollments, and a precipitous drop in the demand for new lawyers. Most of those calling for change have relied on the critical analysis of modem legal education presented in a 2007 report by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement …

The George Washington University Law School
The Benefits To Be Derived From Post-Negotiation Assessments, Charles B. Craver
Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution
Lawyers negotiate regularly, even when they do not appreciate the fact they are engaged in such activities. They negotiate with their own partners, associates, and legal assistants, as well as with prospective clients and current clients. They also negotiate with outside parties on behalf of their clients. Most legal practitioners have had minimal formal training with respect to this critical lawyering skill, and few spend much time thinking about what they are doing when they engage in bargaining interactions with others.

How Derrick Bell Helped Me Decide To Become An Educator, Not Just A Faculty Member, Vanessa Merton
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
Way ahead of the current chorus of critique of American legal education, Derrick Bell was a fierce, but lucid and incisive, critic of every aspect of American legal education, from law professors’ inadequacies, to the repetitive passivity of the law school classroom, to the financial exploitation of students, to the negative consequences of the tenure system. Dean Bell did not merely voice these concerns, he creatively structured his own courses to make them more relevant, effective, and student-centered. The author’s chance encounter with Dean Bell’s 1982 article, The Law Student as Slave, which presaged later calls for wholesale reform of …

The Struggle For Legal Philosophy (Vis-À-Vis Legal Education): Methods And Problems,
2012
Georgetown Law Center
The Struggle For Legal Philosophy (Vis-À-Vis Legal Education): Methods And Problems, Imer Flores
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
The article challenges the empirical claim that suggests that the legal skills needed to successfully practice law are not--and cannot be--learned at law schools, and contrasts it with the conceptual claim that indicates that the legal tasks needed for practicing law presuppose a legal theory--or at least requires a link between theory and practice. Hence, the dual claim--empirical and conceptual--is that legal philosophy is an important part of a legal curriculum and necessary to bridge, rather than to deepen, the existing gap between theory and practice.

Standard Lawyer Behavior? Professionalism As An Essential Standard For Aba Accreditation,

Florida A & M University College of Law
Standard Lawyer Behavior? Professionalism As An Essential Standard For Aba Accreditation, Nicola A. Boothe-Perry
Journal Publications
This article addresses the ABA as a source of pressure to encourage and foster professionalism education in law schools. The ABA holds a uniquely powerful position in the American legal community, and with it the ABA enjoys the attendant ability to influence professionalism training and awareness. The principal tool at the ABA's disposal considered in this article is the ABA's ability to promulgate standards for professionalism as a requirement for law school accreditation. This article argues that this is the proper time for the ABA to institute a specific standard in an effort to increase professionalism in the legal profession.
