In today's volatile law school environment, curriculum reform has emerged as a significant
focus. It is commonly understood that law schools effectively teach certain analytical skills, but
are less successful in other areas, and often scramble to adapt to evolving aims. This book demonstrates
how law schools are successfully reforming their curriculum - and lays the framework
to show how all schools of law can engage in a continuous reform model that proactively
shapes our profession.
It is expected that faculty and professional staff engaged in legal education will utilize this book
as a primary resource to guide their respective reform efforts. Each contributed chapter presents
a case study of a data-driven curriculum reform effort. The initial chapters set the conceptual
context for the book, while the final chapter offers summative recommendations for considering legal education reform as derived from
the earlier case study chapters. This book adds significantly to the literature in legal education, as we gain first hand insight into evidence
based reform for the legal education community.
