Download or read book The Art of Law Teaching written by Lutz-Christian Wolff and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-12-07 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by an award-winning professor with over 25 years of experience, this book explains comprehensively the different facets of law teaching from the law teacher’s perspective. It uniquely covers numerous topics which have been ignored by the legal education literature so far, but which are of immense importance for the success of law students, law schools and—last but not least—the day-to-day work of law teachers themselves. These topics include the goals of law teaching, the factors that lead to successful law teaching, special characteristics of good law teachers, different ways of preparing for in-class success, face-to-face versus online teaching, the in-class teaching experience, assessments, teaching evaluations, the design of new courses and programmes, the teacher–student and the teacher–teacher relationship, the importance of teaching administration as well as the future of law teaching in the digital age. The author approaches various themes from the viewpoint of his own experience. He tells his very personal stories of classroom success and failure, of enthusiasm, fun and disappointments when dealing with law students, of accomplishments and frustrations when considering learning outcomes and of surprises when dealing with red tape. He thus allows the readership to grasp different aspects of law teaching in a very hands-own way and facilitates the understanding of the underlying often rather complex human-to-human relationships. This book should be in the bookshelf of any law teacher. As it covers a wide spectrum of so far unexplored legal education issues, it is also an invaluable source at the start of a law teaching career, but also for established law teachers who wish to reflect on their own teaching approaches. A rich body of cross-references to the existing literature makes the book a powerful tool for research on any aspect of legal education. Last but not least, the author’s ironic sense of himself and of the law teacher profession makes the book a very entertaining read for anybody who always wanted to know what law teaching really is (and is not) about.

Download or read book Reinventing Legal Education written by Alberto Alemanno and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-24 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: European legal teaching - historically formalistic, doctrinal, hierarchical, and passive - is coming under increasing pressure to reimagine itself as pragmatic, policy-aware, and action-oriented. Out of this context, a bottom-up movement of university law clinics appears to be emerging in Europe. Although intellectually indebted to the US model, the European variant reflects legal education and practice in Europe, specifically the multi-layered and multi-genetic legal landscape resulting from the Europeanization and internationalization of national legal systems, the globalization of European legal markets, and the growing demand for civic engagement in view of increasingly powerful supra-national institutions. Through the prism of clinical legal education, Reinventing Legal Education is the first attempt to gather scholarly and systematic reflections on the developments taking place in European legal teaching and practice. This groundbreaking book should be read by anyone interested in how clinical legal education is reinventing legal education in Europe.

Download or read book Law Teaching and Training written by Richard Lee Hermann and published by H Watson LLC. This book was released on 2017-04-10 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Build a legal career in one of the hottest 21st century employment arenas! In his 21st Century Legal Career Series, Richard L. Hermann researches, evaluates, and predicts where the employment opportunities are and will be for law graduates. Volume 10, Law Teaching and Training: Law School and Way Beyond, debunks the conventional wisdom that there are no jobs for law teachers. To be sure U.S. law schools are a mature industry and not a great place these days to be looking for teaching positions. But that does not mean law teaching jobs are static or disappearing. Quite the contrary. Law schools may not be where the action is, but that does not mean there isn't a lot of action elsewhere. There are far more law teaching positions available outside of law schools than within. Attorneys now teach law courses in undergraduate institutions, graduate departments, paralegal schools, foreign universities, government, corporations and even law firms. For example, more than 500 undergraduate institutions offer a Legal Studies or comparable major. The individuals who teach in these programs are attorneys. Discover the breadth and depth of opportunities for law graduates who want to teach. Highlights include: - Why Is Law Teaching and Training So Hot? - Who Hires? Law School: Traditional Teaching Positions - Who Hires? Law School: Alternative Teaching Options - Who Hires? College and University Undergraduate and Graduate Programs - Who Hires? New Higher Education Teaching Opportunities - Who Hires? Paralegal Programs - Who Hires? Teaching Law Abroad - Who Hires? Corporate Training Programs - Who Hires? Law Firms and Subsidiaries - Who Hires? Continuing Legal Education Providers - Who Hires? Government Training Programs - Who Hires? Other Selected Teaching and Training Programs - What Does It Pay? - Breaking into Law Teaching and Training - Advance Notice of Law Teaching and Training Opportunities Hermann details how law students and lawyers can develop a successful career in law teaching and training.
Download or read book Law School 2 0 written by David I. C. Thomson and published by LexisNexis/Matthew Bender. This book was released on 2009 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Legal education is at a crossroads. As a media-saturated generation of students enters law school, they find themselves thrust into a fairly backward mode of instruction, much of which is over 100 years old. Over those years, legal education has resisted many credible reports recommending change, most recently those from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and from the Clinical Legal Education Association. Meanwhile, the cost of legal education continues to skyrocket, with many law students graduating with crushing debt they have difficulty paying back. All of these factors are likely to reach a crescendo in the next few years, setting the stage for a perfect storm out of which can come significant change. But legal education has successfully resisted systemic change for many years. Given that dubious track record, the only way significant change can reasonably be predicted is if something is different this time. Fortunately, there is something different this time: the ubiquity of technology. Since the MacCrate report in 1992, the internet has achieved massive growth, and a generation of students has grown up with sophisticated and pervasive use of technology in nearly every facet of their lives. This book describes how the perfect storm of generational change and the rising cost and criticisms of legal education, combined with extraordinary technological developments, will change the face of legal education as we know it today. Its scope extends from generational changes in our students, to pedagogical shifts inside and outside of the classroom, to hybrid textbooks, all the way to methods of active, interactive, and hypertextual learning. And it describes how this shift can--and will--better prepare law students for the practice of tomorrow.
