In Praise Of Law Books And Law Reviews (And Jargon-Filled Academic Writing), Cass R. Sunstein 2016 Harvard University

In Praise Of Law Books And Law Reviews (And Jargon-Filled Academic Writing), Cass R. Sunstein

Michigan Law Review

Many people, including many lawyers and judges, disparage law reviews and the books that sometimes result from them on the ground that they often deal with abstruse topics, of little interest to the bar, and are sometimes full of jargon, including excessively academic and impenetrable writing. Some of the objections are warranted, but at their best, law books and law reviews show a high level of rigor, discipline, and care; they have a kind of internal morality. What might seem to be jargon is often a product of specialization, similar to what is observed in other fields (such as economics, …


The Changing Market For Criminal Law Casebooks, Jens David Ohlin 2016 Cornell Law School

The Changing Market For Criminal Law Casebooks, Jens David Ohlin

Michigan Law Review

Criminal law is a nasty business. The field takes as its point of departure the indignities that human beings visit upon each other—each one worse than the one before. A book or article about criminal law often reads like a parade of horribles, an indictment of humanity’s descent into moral weakness. For those who teach criminal law, everything else pales in comparison.

Criminal law professors are often addicted to their subject. Nothing …


What Is Criminal Law About?, Guyora Binder, Robert Weisberg 2016 State University of New York at Buffalo Law School

What Is Criminal Law About?, Guyora Binder, Robert Weisberg

Michigan Law Review

In “The Changing Market for Criminal Casebooks,” Jens David Ohlin offers an appreciative, but nevertheless critical review of established criminal law casebooks. He then introduces his own offering by describing “a vision for a new casebook” that will better serve the needs and wants of contemporary students. Ohlin begins with the arresting claim that criminal law professors are passionate about their subject because they are fascinated by human depravity. Then, throughout his essay, he stresses efficient, consumer-focused delivery of doctrinal instruction as the defining task of a successful casebook. Moreover, he argues, casebooks should devote less attention to academic theories …

More Talking, More Writing, Andrea Boyack

Faculty Publications

Coming from a lifetime of more passive learning, where tests demanded mere recall of specific facts, new law students often find it hard to transition into a more active learning model, where exams require students to explain and apply, not just remember. The only way to smooth the transition, I believe, is to give students ample opportunities to practice articulating legal rules and applications prior to the exam. After all, our goal for our law students is not mere familiarity with legal rules, but fluency in applying and articulating legal concepts.
