The place of emotion in legal education is rarely discussed or
analysed, and we do not have to seek far for the reasons. The
difficulty of interdisciplinary research, the technicisation of
legal education itself, the view that affect is irrational and
antithetical to core western ideals of rationality - all this has
made the subject of emotion in legal education invisible. Yet the
educational literature on emotion proves how essential it is to
student learning and to the professional lives of teachers. This
text, the first full-length book study of the subject, seeks to
make emotion a central topic of research for legal educators, and
restore the power of emotion in our teaching and learning. Part 1
focuses on the contribution that neuroscience can make to legal
learning, a theme that is carried through other chapters in the
book. Part 2 explores the role of emotion in the working lives of
academics and clinical staff, while Part 3 analyses the ways in
which emotion can be used in learning and teaching. The book,
interdisciplinary and wide-ranging in its reference, breaks new
ground in its analysis of the educational lifeworld of situations,
communities, actors and interactions in legal education.

Lawyering Skills and the Legal Process bridges the gap between
academic and practical law for students undertaking skills-based
and clinical legal education courses at university. It develops
oral and written communication, group working, problem solving and
conflict resolution skills in a range of legal contexts: client
interviewing, drafting, managing cases, legal negotiation and
advocacy. The book is designed specifically to help students to
practise and develop skills that will be essential in a range of
occupations; develop a deeper understanding of the English legal
process and the lawyer's role in that process; enhance their
understanding of the relationship between legal skills and ethics;
and understand how they learn and how they can make their learning
more effective. This book provides a stimulating, accessible and
challenging approach to understanding the problems and
uncertainties of practising law that goes beyond the standard
approaches to lawyers' skills.
