#lawprofs — Public Fediverse posts

Today is a good day to remind folk about the Declaration on Free Access to Law (https://falm.info/declaration/).

It declares, among other things that: "Public legal information is digital common property and should be accessible to all on a non-profit basis and free of charge"

Maybe #LawProfs can chime in. How do I find US court cases in which a media outlet was sued for defamation for reporting "A driver struck X" instead of "A car struck X"?

We have gotten the collection Classical Rhetoric & Contemporary Law: A Critical Reader over the finish line. An accessible text for scholars and students (#LawProfs, #argumentation, #LegalWriting, #TeamRhetoric)—and curious lawyers in #LawFedi. Introduces the complex relationship between ancient western thought and contemporary law and the long history of some rhetorical concepts and practices that advocates and judges are still using today (not always for the better). https://www.uapress.ua.edu/9780817361396/classical-rhetoric-and-contemporary-law/

"Classes teach you all about advanced topics within CS, from operating systems to machine learning, but there’s one critical subject that’s rarely covered, and is instead left to students to figure out on their own: proficiency with their tools."

Does any one know if there's an equivalent for #lawyers? #LawFedi #lawprofs #inhouse

This was our panel today at #aals2023 for the Associate Dean section. It was an honor to learn from Dr. Nickey Woods, Deepika Sharma, and Chalak Richards. We discussed learning and motivation theory, and I presented strategies for teaching with intrinsic motivations that promote mastery and personal formation (not just extrinsic motivations of grades and competition). I always welcome opportunities to bring clinical moves to the doctrinal crowds.
