Abstract

Efforts to reform legal education in the United States often tout the next great thing. In the last two decades alone, the legal academy has innovated by adding active learning in the classroom, experiential learning, technology, and new methods of assessment. Each time I read the latest report or attend a conference on how we now are supposed to change our teaching, I end up thinking, “Where have you been?” Legal writing professors in the United States are used to using their classrooms and courses as laboratories to improve legal education, long before those farther up the hierarchy have even identified needs and problems. In The Arts and the Legal Academy: Beyond Text in Legal Education, I happily encountered academics in law and other fields working on the cutting edge of legal education.
