Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This updated casebook serves a course in introduction to legal reasoning. It is designed to initiate students in the legal methods of case law analysis and statutory interpretation. In a course of this kind, students should acquire or refine the techniques of close reading, analogizing, distinguishing, positing related fact patterns, and criticizing judicial and legislative exposition and logic. Law students' introduction to law can be unsettling: the sink or swim approach favored by many schools casts students adrift in a sea of substantive rules, forms and methods. By contrast, the Legal Methods course seeks to acquaint students with their new rhetorical and logical surroundings before, or together with, the students' first encounters with the substance of contracts, torts, or other first year courses. This approach may not only be user friendly; it should also prompt students to take a critical distance from the wielding of the methods. In this way, students may avoid (or at least broaden) the tunnel vision that so often afflicts beginning law students. The fifth edition features a substantially revised chapter on statutory interpretation. It not only highlights recent Supreme Court decisions, but also confronts students with statutory texts to construe independently of judicial exposition. The chapter also includes new sections on ordinary meaning, the use of dictionaries and corpus linguistics, and temporal problems in statutory interpretation.

Download or read book Informing with the Case Method written by T. Grandon Gill and published by Informing Science. This book was released on 2011 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are a number of marvelous books that address the topic of the case method. If you are interested in facilitating cases, you can look to the classic book Teaching and the Case Method by Louis Barnes, C. Roland Christensen and Abby Hansen (1994). The collection of essays on the subject, Education for Judgment: The Artistry of Discussion Leadership by C. Roland Christensen, David Garvin and Ann Sweet (1991) is a wonderful and inspiring read as well. If your interest is case-based research, it would be nearly impossible to find a more authoritative source than Robert Yin’s (2009, 4th Edition) Case Study Research: Design and Methods, which (at last count) has been cited nearly 29,000 times, according to Google Scholar. There is even a new entry to the field, William Ellet’s (2007) The Case Study Handbook: How to Read, Discuss, and Write Persuasively about Cases that is specifically aimed at the student. At first glance, then, the topic of case studies in education and research seems to be pretty well covered. Do we really need another book on the subject? I write this book believing the answer is yes. While I have great affection for the classics, there are a number of issues facing most business faculty—not to mention faculty members from disciplines outside of business—that these books simply do not address. In writing this book, my intention is to offer some thoughts on some of these. Paradoxically, these omissions arise from the very fact that the authors of the classics are undisputed masters of their craft. Why this is a problem should become clear as I identify the three areas of focus for this book. The first issue that I feel must be considered is using the case method with a novice audience. Consider the following. When I was enrolled in the MBA program at Harvard Business School (HBS) in the early 1980s, the curriculum consisted of nearly 900 case discussion (15 per week) and—perhaps—as many as 20 class periods given over to lecture-style presentations. When I teach a case-method graduate course at my own institution, on the other hand, I am constrained to 11 case discussions (a 12 week semester). As it happens, I am also the only course in the entire program that employs pedagogy reasonably faithful to the case method, as it is normally defined. The math is very simple. By the last day of my semester, my students have as much experience discussing cases as I did on Thursday afternoon of the first week of my two year MBA program at HBS. With the exception of faculty teaching at those rare institutions that have chosen to widely adopt the case method, the situation I face is commonplace. The second concern that existing books raise for me is their tendency to focus on isolated topics. Specifically, case facilitation, case writing and case research are treated as separable activities. I would argue that these three aspects of the case method—which I define quite broadly—are inseparable. For institutions that wish to achieve the full set of benefits provided by the case method, all three activities must be pursued in parallel. Perhaps this is why so few institutions have achieved success through the case method. In this book, I will argue that achieving such integration is precisely why those rare institutions have been so successful. Once you start believing that the case method can be a key to institutional success, how you get there becomes a real challenge. At leading institutions featuring the case method, such as HBS, the philosophy is largely learned through a period of apprenticeship. For example, I did not encounter any of the references mentioned in the first paragraph—excepting Yin—at any time during my 5 year doctorate at HBS. Instead, I went out and wrote cases, facilitated discussions and did research under the guidance of faculty members who were masters of the craft. How can someone without the benefit of such an experience acquire such mastery? While I cannot offer any promises in this regard, I will at least provide some examples and easy-to-follow checklists that may be of service to individuals getting started.

Download or read book University Law written by KERN. ALEXANDER ALEXANDER (KLINTON.) and published by West Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2020-12-29 with total page 1181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Types of Courses This book is designed for graduate courses titled Law and Education, Higher Education Law, University Law, College Law, and/or Legal Aspects of Education, in graduate programs in Colleges of Education and elective courses in Law Schools. Description The presentation in the book, a combination textbook/casebook, gives a complete overview of higher education law; covering common law, constitutional law, and interpretations of statute at state and federal levels. The content defines the legal rights and responsibilities in colleges and universities. Organization Each chapter begins with an overview of the legal issues followed by detailed explanations of legal precedents and the prevailing rule of law. Features The "text-case" method allows instructors to analyze issues and relate court decisions to operations of colleges and universities. Students are given the legal bases that relate factual situations while recognizing similar experiences they may have as practicing university faculty members or administrators. Rules of law are explained in narrative form enabling law students and graduate education students to grasp the essence of legal precedents as background for reading and understanding judicial opinions. Judicial opinions are carefully edited to weed out extraneous legal jargon, and to pinpoint the dispute at hand. Case briefs are provided at the end of court decisions that refine points of law addressed in other litigation. The authors' comprehensive approach gives law students and graduate education students an overall view of the law. The text in each subject matter area opens with a historical legal perspective that captures the current roles of federal and state governments in higher education. Different areas of law (common law, statutes, constitutional law) are woven together throughout the text. This manner of presentation helps reduce legal complexities to a level easily understood by law students and graduate school students. Summaries of Case Law Each chapter provides the student with comprehensive summaries and explanations of judicial rationale of court decisions in key cases. Pedagogy Edited cases are integrated into each chapter. Cases focus on the legal precedents and eliminate unnecessary judicial and procedural matters. Most cases are brief, saving students and teachers time by identifying relevant factors and court holdings. Case Notes Case notes for court decisions from other jurisdictions are presented following each case to provide additional insights into various legal issues as expounded by other courts. "Case notes" supplement each case to add perspective and analysis for each topic. Legal Research Sources Each chapter is accompanied by reference to legal research resources including law reviews and journals, legal encyclopedias, restatements of law, digests, reports, and online resources.

Download or read book Learning Contracts written by JACK. BLAIR GRAVES (HENRY ALLEN.) and published by West Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2021-12-30 with total page 745 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is not Professor Kingsfield's casebook. In fact, there's very little that's traditional about Learning Contracts. Instead, Learning Contracts organizes the waterfront of core contract law, theory, and policy into fifty discrete lessons. While the book works seamlessly in bricks-and-mortar classes, it was expressly built for today's increasingly diverse world of online, flipped, hybrid or blended learning formats, and it works uniquely well in each of these settings. Moreover, the newest edition of Learning Contracts puts professors in the driver's seat, offering unparalleled customizability and flexibility. Each lesson begins with clearly articulated outcomes, which are followed by highly structured presentations, detailed explanations, illustrative examples, and helpful summaries, all working together to make the doctrine, theory, and policy of contracts readily accessible to students. Additionally, each and every lesson employs a comprehensive and consistent comparative approach, systematically addressing not only the common law, but also UCC Article 2 and the Convention on the International Sale of Goods (CISG). Like other titles in the Learning series, Learning Contracts relies on very few cases. The examples in each lesson are frequently based on classic contracts cases--and the robust supplemental materials offer edited texts of cases for many lessons for those who want to inject more case method into their class. But rather than relying heavily on the case method, which can often leave students hanging, Learning Contracts provides students with the tools they need to learn the basic law in advance and spend the vast majority of their class time putting doctrine, theory, and policy into practice, while working through problems presented at the end of each lesson and in the supplemental materials.
