Whilst educational theory has developed significantly in recent
years, much of the law curriculum remains content-driven and
delivered traditionally, predominantly through lecture format.
Students are, in the main, treated as empty vessels to be filled by
the eminent academics of the day. Re-thinking Legal Education under
the Common and Civil Law draws on the experience of teachers,
practitioners and students across the world who are committed to
developing a more effective learning process. Little attention has,
historically, been paid to the importance of the application of
theory, the role of reflective learning, the understanding and
acquisition of lawyering skills and the development of professional
responsibility and wider ethical values. With contributions from
across the global north and south, this book examines the history
of educating our lawyers, the influences and constraints that may
shape the curriculum, the means of delivering it and the models
that could be used to tackle current shortcomings. The whole is
intended to represent what might be desirable and possible if we
are to produce lawyers that are fit for purpose in the 21st
century, be that in either in civil or common law jurisdictions.
This book will be of direct assistance to those who wish to
understand the theory and practice of legal pedagogy in an
experiential context. It will be essential reading for academics,
researchers and teachers in the fields of law and education,
particularly those concerned with curriculum design and developing
interactive teaching methods. It is likely to be of interest to law
students too - particularly those who value a more direct
engagement in their learning.
