Building on Best Practices: Transforming Legal Education in a Changing World - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Building on Best Practices is a follow-up to Best Practices for Education , a project of the Clinical Education Association (CLEA), authored primarily by Roy Stuckey. With contributions from more than 50 educators, this new volume is not a second edition, but is intended to be used in conjunction with the original volume, as the core content of Best Practices remains just as useful as when it was originally published. In the wake of new ABA Accreditation Standards, the MacCrate Report, and other changes, education is called upon today to respond to a broader view of what lawyers must be trained to do. Building on Best Practices identifies ten such areas and provides guidance on what and how to teach them. The demand to teach a broader range of knowledge, skills, and values presents difficult trade-offs, however, that are also considered.
"To demonstrate that law schools can still add value to careers and society, educators must grapple with structural changes that affect every aspect of teaching, learning and researching. Building on Best Practices provides diverse expertise and useful guidance on approaching these challenges and on improving and expanding the enterprise of education." - Jeffrey R. Baker, Journal of Education
