Introduction to Erasing Lines: Integrating the Law School Curriculum
9 Pages Posted: 22 Feb 2008
Abstract
Our goal at this conference is to begin the process of erasing the often artificial lines that presently exist between "doctrinal" and "skills" courses, between education focused on the acquisition of knowledge and education focused on the practical application of that knowledge. The lines that have been drawn are more a matter of perception than reality. If we were to deconstruct the pedagogical goals in both of these types of courses, we would find that they have as many similarities as they have differences.
Keywords: doctrinal courses, skills courses, legal education, integration, law school curriculum
