Lessons From Forty Years Of Interference In Law School Clinics, Robert R. Kuehn, Bridget M. Mccormack
Scholarship@WashULaw
Recently, there have been a number of well-publicized attacks on law school clinics over their legal representation of unpopular individuals and organizations, which brings them in opposition to powerful business and political interests. This article analyzes the effects of forty years of publicized interference in law school clinics on law clinic attorneys and clinical legal education, and the lessons that can be drawn from this extended history. The article includes a typology of outside interference in clinics, provides empirical support for the negative effects of this interference on the attitudes and actions of clinic attorneys, and argues that there are …

The Griswold 9 And Student Activism For Faculty Diversity At Harvard Law School In The Early 1990s, Philip Lee
Faculty Publications
This article reconstructs a mostly forgotten moment in Harvard Law School history when the students organized in the early 1990s across race, gender, sexual orientation, and ability and disability lines to push for faculty diversity. The new student coalition, called the Coalition for Civil Rights, gave the students’ activism unusual momentum. This initiative included the first time that law students, acting pro se, sued their law school for discrimination in faculty hiring and the first time Harvard Law School students were publically tried by their school’s Administrative Board for conducting an overnight sit-in at the Dean’s office (i.e., the Griswold …

An Empirical Analysis Of Empirical Legal Scholarship Production, 1990-2009, Michael R. Heise
Cornell Law Faculty Publications
Inspired by the retirement of Professor Tom Ulen of the University of Illinois, the author considers the growth and development of empirical legal scholarship over two decades—a period of time that corresponds, not coincidentally, with Professor Ulen’s career. Starting in the 1990s when empirical scholarship had not yet “caught on,” the author first documents the increase in quantity of empirical scholarship over two decades. Next, the author applies a law and economics perspective to the recent surge in empirical scholarship, explaining that the trend has been fueled by an increase in the number of empirically trained scholars and also by …

At the 2009 Future of Family Law Education conference at the William Mitchell School of Law,4 the authors participated in a panel discussing strategies for teaching controversial topics, which focused on teaching reproductive rights and related gender issues. This essay collects some of the strategies discussed at the conference. First we address what constitutes a "controversial" legal topic, outlining the several different ways in which a topic might be or become controversial within the context of a particular class. Next, we discuss the importance of laying the groundwork, throughout the semester, for the anticipated-and unanticipated-discussions surrounding controversial topics and techniques …

Teaching Contract Law: Introducing Students To A Critical Perspective Through Discussion Of Indentured Servitude And Sharecropper Contracts, Gregory S. Crespi
Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters
An introductory law school course in contract law, prior to commencing the detailed study of specific doctrines, should at the outset provide some general orientation to the students by presenting them with a broad overview of the conventional characterization of contract law as a benign social institution that facilitates private ordering and promisee reliance. However, this initial orientation to the underlying rationale of the subject should also expose the students to a contrasting and more critical perspective that calls attention to contract law’s occasional use as a means of social domination and oppression. A brief discussion of the history of …

The new law school at the University of California, Irvine is attempting to implement an innovative vision of top-tier legal education that focuses upon preparing students for the practice of law, and which emphasizes skills-based and experiential training. As part of that effort the school has restructured the traditional first-year law school curriculum so that several of the courses each focus on particular analytical methods, specifically common law analysis, statutory analysis, procedural analysis, constitutional analysis, and international legal analysis, rather than on a particular subject matter such as contracts, torts, etc. While there are some advantages to this new approach, …

The Consumer Indebtedness Crisis: Law School Clinics As Laboratories For Generating Effective Legal Responses, Peggy Maisel, Natalie Roman
Faculty Scholarship
For the legal system to operate effectively, it must address problems arising from the absence of needed laws, or, if enacted, of laws that have been drafted poorly or are not being implemented in a fair and just manner. Since law schools are generally part of a larger university community, they are uniquely placed to serve as laboratories to find solutions to such problems, perhaps nowhere more so than in their legal clinics. The latter have in fact often played the role of legal innovators, but their contributions to the law and therefore to society at large have been little …

Student-Edited Law Reviews And Their Role In U.S. Legal Education, Daniel H. Foote
Articles
>p>For well over a centur y student-edited law reviews have been a major vehicle for publication of scholarship on law in the United States. At those law reviews, students bear responsibility for nearly all aspects of the publication process, including the vitally important task of selecting what works will be published. Criticisms have been raised over various aspects of this system, but they have not stemmed the rise of student-edited law reviews. Today, such law reviews are firmly entrenched as a central feature of the U.S. legal system; and, facilitat ed by advances in technology, the number of student-edited …

Internationalization And Integration Of Doctrine, Skills And Ethics In Legal Education: The Contrasting Situations Of The United States And Japan, Daniel H. Foote
Articles
This article addresses two trends in legal education: internationalization and integration of doctrine, skills and legal ethics. In the United States, international and comparative law, skills training, and legal ethics all have deep historical roots in legal education, and the past few decades have seen further major increases in each of those areas. A particularly noteworthy recent development is the rise in efforts to integrate skills training and attention to ethical issues with doctrinal analysis, rather than just teaching each of those elements separately, Notably, Harvard Law School, which continues to influence educational patterns at other law schools within the …
