Book excerpt: Sense of belonging is predictive of law students' academic performance and education satisfaction (Green et al. forthcoming). But what affects and supports law students' sense of belonging in the first place? Using the 2018 Law School Survey of Student Engagement (LSSSE) data, this dissertation examines the extent to which perceived experiences of bias, stereotype concerns, and various sources of social capital influence law students' sense of belonging at the intersection of race and gender. The first empirical chapter provides evidence that sense of belonging is patterned by race-gender. Specifically, women of color have the highest predicted probabilities compared to white men, white women, and even men of color to perceive experiences of bias, discrimination, or unfair treatment at their law schools, to report experiences of not being taken seriously in class, to worry that their professors underestimate their intelligence, and to report that others in their school would be surprised to see them succeed. Consistent with recent "raceXgender" scholarship on academic careers in legal education, findings reported in this chapter reflect the vastly different law school experiences of women of color. The second empirical chapter shows that perceived experiences of bias and student's concerns about stereotypes associated with their social identity are prevalent in law schools. Perceived experiences of bias and stereotype concerns are both significantly and adversely related to students' sense of belonging. The third and final empirical chapter shows that the effects of perceived experiences of bias and stereotype concerns on students' sense of belonging can be mitigated by tapping into various sources of social capital. This dissertation lends support to Justice Sotomayor's words that, "Race matters because the slights, the snickers, the silent judgments that reinforce that most crippling of thoughts: 'I do not belong here.'" Specifically, the three empirical chapters show that race and gender matter in how students experience sense of belonging in law school. These findings have important implications for our theoretical and practical understanding of how legal education is experienced by minoritized students and how to support them. Moving forward, more research is needed to understand the nuanced needs of various groups of men and women of color in legal education, especially among Indigenous, Black, Latinx, and other minoritized students.

Book excerpt: Guinier (law, U. of Pennsylvania) adds her own essays to a study she conducted with Michelle Fine and Jane Balin on women and performance in law school. She blames female students' lower performance on a law school culture that emphasizes aggressiveness, legitimizes emotional detachment and demands speed. As a solution, she suggests changing the way law schools teach and measure students' achievements. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Download or read book The Language of Law School written by Elizabeth Mertz and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2007-02-03 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anyone who has attended law school knows that it entails an important intellectual transformation, frequently referred to as "learning to think like a lawyer." This process, which subtly induces students to think and talk in radically new and different ways about conflicts, is largely accomplished in first-year law school classes where professors inculcate new attitudes toward spoken and written language. Elizabeth Mertz's book is the first study to truly delve into that language to reveal the complexities of how this process takes place. She concludes that the transformation law students undergo is as much a shift in how they approach language-how they talk and read and write-as in how they "think."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical classroom space can influence a student's sense of interconnectivity and can support learning. Social effects of the physical space have been infrequently researched regarding the role it has on student collaboration and therefore is not well understood by school personnel. This thesis shares results of a mixed method content analysis of data collected across three new law school buildings in the United States of America. Students from each law school completed a survey to determine the effects the new law school building had on their perceptions of the space, their ability to collaborate with peers and faculty, and the overall difference between their experience in the new building compared to the old law school building.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: College students are subject to a massive input of stresses which require successful and ever-changing coping strategies. These stresses include inside and outside pressures by the world to succeed, financial worries, concerns about uncertain futures, social problems and opportunities since college is often the meeting place for future mates, and homework and tests in multiple and complex subjects requiring preparation and focus with often conflicting priorities. Unsuccessful coping often results in anxiety, heavy drinking, depression and a host of other mental health problems. This new book presents new and important research in this important field.

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.
Download or read book Unequal Profession written by Meera E Deo and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2019-02-05 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study of the experiences of women of color law school faculty and the effect of race and gender on legal education. This book is the first formal, empirical investigation into the law faculty experience using a distinctly intersectional lens, examining both the personal and professional lives of law faculty members. Comparing the professional and personal experiences of women of color professors with white women, white men, and men of color faculty from assistant professor through dean emeritus, Unequal Profession explores how the race and gender of individual legal academics affects not only their individual and collective experience, but also legal education as a whole. Drawing on quantitative and qualitative empirical data, Meera E. Deo reveals how race and gender intersect to create profound implications for women of color law faculty members, presenting unique challenges as well as opportunities to improve educational and professional outcomes in legal education. Deo shares the powerful stories of law faculty who find themselves confronting intersectional discrimination and implicit bias in the form of silencing, mansplaining, and the presumption of incompetence, to name a few. Through hiring, teaching, colleague interaction, and tenure and promotion, Deo brings the experiences of diverse faculty to life and proposes several mechanisms to increase diversity within legal academia and to improve the experience of all faculty members. Praise for Unequal Profession “Fascinating, shocking, and infuriating, Meera Deo’s careful qualitative research exposes the institutional practices and cultural norms that maintain a separate and unequal race-gender order even within the privileged ranks of tenure-track law professors. With riveting quotes from faculty across a range of institutional and social positions, Unequal Profession powerfully reminds us that we must do better. I saw my own career in this book—and you might, too.” —Angela P. Harris, University of California, Davis “A powerful account of inequality in legal academia. Quantitative data and compelling narratives bring to life the challenges and roadblocks in gaining not just entry and tenure but also respect for the voices of minority women within the academy. There are no easy remedies, but reading this book is a good place to start for lawyers and law professors to understand what minority women face and which practices can increase the odds of success.” —Bryant G. Garth, University of California, Irvine “Unequal Profession should be mandatory reading for everyone in legal academia . . . . By providing concrete evidence of systemic discrimination, Meera Deo illuminates a long-standing problem needing to be remedied.” —Sarah Deer, University of Kansas
