- Title
Taking Law and _ Really Seriously: Before, During and after "The Law".
- Authors
Menkel-Meadow, Carrie
- Abstract
The article presents a global critique of legal education and offers programs for change that have been planned or implemented in leading law schools in the U.S. The author notes that legal education has remained relatively unchanged in the past few decades. She stresses that the path to educational renewal in law involves the recognition that the study of law is necessarily a multidisciplinary enterprise. After reviewing the history of legal education, she proposes a new method of legal study, organized around a 'holy trinity' of temporal approaches to law. She proposes that law students should take not only traditional courses, but also classes which inform them how and why law is made. She also proposes that students should also receive training in basic legal skills.
