- Title
THE ABA TASK FORCE REPORT ON THE FUTURE OF LEGAL EDUCATION: THE ROLE OF ADJUNCT PROFESSORS AND PRACTICAL TEACHING IN THE ENERGY SECTOR.
- Authors
Gaille, S. Scott
- Abstract
In September 2013, the ABA Task Force on the Future of Legal Education issued its preliminary report. One of the curriculum reforms advanced by the ABA and others is the expansion of practical courses taught by adjunct professors. The author has developed practical courses focused on the energy industry for Rice University's Graduate School of Business and the University of Chicago Law School. He advocates teaching industry frameworks through real life examples--from the practitioner's own career--and then requiring students to apply those lessons in a competitive simulation. For law students considering a career in the energy industry, such courses provide an effective bridge between the traditional curriculum and the practice demands of energy clients.
