Book excerpt: In today’s volatile law school environment, curriculum reform has emerged as a significant focus. It is commonly understood that law schools effectively teach certain analytical skills, but are less successful in other areas, and often scramble to adapt to evolving aims. This book demonstrates how law schools are successfully reforming their curriculum - and lays the framework to show how all schools of law can engage in a continuous reform model that proactively shapes our profession. It is expected that faculty and professional staff engaged in legal education will utilize this book as a primary resource to guide their respective reform efforts. Each contributed chapter presents a case study of a data-driven curriculum reform effort. The initial chapters set the conceptual context for the book, while the final chapter offers summative recommendations for considering legal education reform as derived from the earlier case study chapters. This book adds significantly to the literature in legal education, as we gain first hand insight into evidence based reform for the legal education community.

Book excerpt: Legal education has undergone significant changes from the apprenticeship system of the eighteenth century to the more formalized legal education of today. While most of these changes have been beneficial, practical real world education and skills are missing from most students' legal education. Experiential legal education programs, which are available at virtually all law schools, in some form, is an excellent way to bridge the gap between the skills taught in the classroom environment and the skills required to be a successful attorney practitioner. For example clinical education provides students with real legal skills that are considered valuable by many employers. Even though experiential education programs are extremely beneficial to students, employers, and the community, the benefits provided by experiential education can be increased by making them mandatory and modifying the experiential programs. This paper explores the need for mandatory experiential programs and their impact on modern legal education. Specifically, this article explores the vital role that clinics and other practical skills programs play in legal education. Introduction: As the primary means for educating future lawyers, the quality of education offered by law schools is important to both law students and the community at large. Because of the important role of law schools in society, it is crucial that educators ensure that law students are receiving an education that will give them a solid foundation as practitioners. Studies and critiques of modern law schools reveal several striking similarities. These studies show that modern law schools offer an integrated curriculum and teach legal analysis in the classroom, but could benefit from an increased focus on practical skills, ethics, and communication skills. This leads to the conclusion that law schools need to provide programs that focus on training students for the actual practice of law. Clinical legal education fulfills this objective by giving students an opportunity to obtain experiential learning. Experiential learning encompasses all three domains of learning: cognitive, performance, and effectiveness. It ensures that the students' education encompasses the four stage sequence of optimal learning: theory, application, experience, and reflection. Thus, experiential learning allows students to learn and apply legal skills in a manner that is not available in the classroom environment. This article further explores the vital role that clinics play in legal education. The article begins with a history of clinical legal education and a summary of modern legal education, so we can examine where we have been and the current state of legal education. Then, the article explains the important role that clinical education plays in the bigger picture of modern legal education. Finally, the article more closely examines the nature of clinical education today, discusses several innovative apprenticeship programs, and offers suggestions as to how clinical education can be improved to ensure that students are receiving a legal education that will truly prepare them to enter the workforce as counselors and advocates. Conclusion: As we have seen, clinics play a crucial role in a legal education by offering students real-world experience and bridging the gap between theory and practice. Clinical legal education is essential because it helps ensure that students are prepared for the practice of law, and teaches them to act ethically, competently, and responsibly. Through making clinical, apprenticeship, and externship programs mandatory for all students, and integrating clinical methodology and goals into the core curriculum, legal educators will ensure that their graduates are better prepared for the real world of lawyering upon graduation.

Download or read book Law and Leadership written by Paula Monopoli and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leadership includes the ability to persuade others to embrace one’s ideas and to act upon them. Teaching law students the art of persuasion through advocacy is at the heart of legal education. But historically law schools have not included leadership studies in the curriculum. This book is one of the first to examine whether and how to integrate the theory and practice of leadership studies into legal education and the legal profession. Interdisciplinary in its scope, with contributions from legal educators and practitioners, the book defines leadership in the context of the legal profession and explores its challenges in legal academia, private practice, and government. It also investigates whether law students need to study leadership and, if they should, why it should be offered as part of the curriculum. Finally, it considers how leadership should be taught and how it should be integrated into classes. It evaluates new leadership courses and the adaptation of existing courses to reflect on how to effectively blend law and leadership in doctrinal, clinical, and experiential classrooms. The book includes a foreword by Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and noted leadership scholar, James MacGregor Burns and a foundational essay by prominent leadership scholar and one of the founders of the International Leadership Association, Georgia Sorenson. It will be a valuable resource to anyone interested in leadership, education policy and legal ethics.

A unique and enlightening volume, Comparative Constitutional Law is an essential resource for students and scholars of the subject.

This book was released on 2012-01-16 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starting in the 1970s, conservatives learned that electoral victory did not easily convert into a reversal of important liberal accomplishments, especially in the law. As a result, conservatives' mobilizing efforts increasingly turned to law schools, professional networks, public interest groups, and the judiciary--areas traditionally controlled by liberals. Drawing from internal documents, as well as interviews with key conservative figures, The Rise of the Conservative Legal Movement examines this sometimes fitful, and still only partially successful, conservative challenge to liberal domination of the law and American legal institutions. Unlike accounts that depict the conservatives as fiendishly skilled, The Rise of the Conservative Legal Movement reveals the formidable challenges that conservatives faced in competing with legal liberalism. Steven Teles explores how conservative mobilization was shaped by the legal profession, the legacy of the liberal movement, and the difficulties in matching strategic opportunities with effective organizational responses. He explains how foundations and groups promoting conservative ideas built a network designed to dislodge legal liberalism from American elite institutions. And he portrays the reality, not of a grand strategy masterfully pursued, but of individuals and political entrepreneurs learning from trial and error. Using previously unavailable materials from the Olin Foundation, Federalist Society, Center for Individual Rights, Institute for Justice, and Law and Economics Center, The Rise of the Conservative Legal Movement provides an unprecedented look at the inner life of the conservative movement. Lawyers, historians, sociologists, political scientists, and activists seeking to learn from the conservative experience in the law will find it compelling reading.

This book was released on 1990 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This provocative study explores the reasons for the public perception of «too many lawyers» and the failure of current legal education to meet present needs for competent legal services at an affordable cost. The principal reason for that failure, the authors argue, lies in the unquestioning acceptance of a Prestige Model created almost a century ago. The success of that model, largely unaltered to this day, has acted as a constraint on curriculum modification geared to the realities of today's society. The explosions of knowledge, population and government regulation in recent decades require recognition of the need for substantial curriculum reform. Such reform also requires recognition of differing goals and missions among the law schools. Imaginative suggestions to resolve these critical matters are made in the final portion of the study.

Download or read book Classical Rhetoric and Contemporary Law written by Kirsten K. Davis and published by University of Alabama Press. This book was released on 2024 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "From the twin birth of western rhetoric and law in the Greek-speaking world in the first millennium BCE, law and rhetoric were deeply connected in the ancient world. In the modern era of legal practice, the clear connections between law and classical rhetoric have largely been lost to both those trained in the law and those who study rhetoric. This interdisciplinary reader reestablishes those lost connections by pairing primary source materials in classical rhetoric and contemporary law. The chapters in this volume show that ancient rhetorical texts can deepen or disrupt contemporary notions about principles that lie at the root of western legal traditions and return to us our past, making it possible for scholars across several disciplines to build on work accomplished centuries before. Broken into four parts, this volume first covers the historical development of rhetoric. In Part Two, volume editor Mootz and scholar David A. Frank look at rhetorical theorists at "bookends" of an era when classical rhetoric was de-valued as a mode of thought. Mootz discusses the hegemonic wave of Enlightenment epistemology that separated law from rhetoric, and Frank shows that where Cartesian rationality fails in the modern era, the humanistic tradition of rhetoric allows law to respond to the needs of justice. Part Three consists of ten chapters that each (1) introduce a classical rhetorical theorist to the reader, (2) provide an excerpt from a text by that theorist, and then (3) demonstrate the relevance of that work to a contemporary court case. Moving from the Sophists, through Aristotle and Plato and their Greek contemporaries, to the Roman rhetoricians Cicero and Quintilian, and finally, to the early medieval rhetorician, St. Augustine, these reprinted classical texts are contextualized by leading scholars in law, classics, and rhetoric, each with probing discussion questions for readers to engage and interact with the materials rhetorically. This vital resource of primary texts demonstrates how rhetoric illuminates the operation of the legal system and reconnects law to its rhetorical roots. Structured for use by scholars in critical inquiry and well suited for use in graduate or law school courses, Classical Rhetoric and Contemporary Law will be of interest to law, rhetoric, English, and communication scholars, and as an interactive catalyst to examine the ways in which ancient rhetorical theory informs our understanding of law practice today"--
