The Excitement Of Interdictory Ideas: A Response To Professor Anders Walker, Marc O. DeGirolami 2010 The Catholic University of America, Columbus School of Law

The Excitement Of Interdictory Ideas: A Response To Professor Anders Walker, Marc O. Degirolami

Scholarly Articles

Having canvassed admirably the historical changes to the criminal law case book over the twentieth century, Professor Anders Walker's article suggests that criminal law ought to concern itself with the business of training future prosecutors and defense attorneys by eliminating, or at least greatly reducing, the place of moral and political reflection in the course, which was in any event the supercilious indulgence of elite law schools that disprized criminal practice. His normative prescriptions are of a piece with much that is currently in vogue in criticisms of legal education: that it is impractical, that it does not respond to …


Lawyering Outside Lawsuits: Incorporating Negotiations, Settlements, And Mediations Into The Legal Writing Curriculum, Olivia Farrar, A.G. Harmon 2010 The Catholic University of America, Columbus School of Law

Lawyering Outside Lawsuits: Incorporating Negotiations, Settlements, And Mediations Into The Legal Writing Curriculum, Olivia Farrar, A.G. Harmon

Scholarly Articles

Legal education is built around a core irony: almost no human disputes are resolved via trials, and yet we dedicate years to teaching law students how to resolve disputes via litigation. To remedy this incongruity between legal education and the reality of lawyering, the two of us have begun integrating negotiations, settlements, and mediation into our 1L legal writing curriculum. This article describes why and how we have introduced our students to these non-litigation skill sets, starting to train them in what we believe may be their most powerful dispute resolution skills when they enter the legal world.


The Stellar Parenthetical Illustration: A Tool To Open Doors In A Tight Job Market, Laurie A. Lewis 2010 The Catholic University of America, Columbus School of Law

The Stellar Parenthetical Illustration: A Tool To Open Doors In A Tight Job Market, Laurie A. Lewis

Scholarly Articles

The carefully crafted parenthetical illustration can be a powerful tool in persuasive legal analysis. It can also reflect five areas of a student’s practice-ready skills. These skills include research, use of mandatory and persuasive authorities, rule synthesis and application, clarity and conciseness in writing, and citation form. The student who achieves competency not only in formatting citations but also in drafting clear, concise, illustrative parentheticals demonstrates an understanding of rule permutations. This competency can open doors for opportunities both within and outside law school. Doors can open to better grades, journal invitations, publication offers, internship and externship placements, and jobs, …

Goals And Objectives Of Law Schools In Their Primary Role Of Educating Students: South Africa-The University Of Cape Town School Of Law Experience, Chuma Himonga 2010 Penn State Dickinson Law

Goals And Objectives Of Law Schools In Their Primary Role Of Educating Students: South Africa-The University Of Cape Town School Of Law Experience, Chuma Himonga

Penn State International Law Review (1982 - 2011)

This paper examines the goals of law schools in their primary role of educating students, and the implications of the changing conditions in the legal and business world for these goals. Hereafter, unless otherwise indicated, "school(s)" will be used instead of "faculty(ies)". I would argue that there is no uniformity among law schools with regard to the purposes for which they educate students. The definition of a school's goals and objectives is influenced by factors peculiar to its own circumstances. Furthermore, the goals of a law school are potentially dynamic. They may change from time to time in response to …
