I'm fiddling around a bit with a syllabus for an undergraduate #law course. #Lawprof friends and general legal beagles, what would you recommend as foundational readings for sessions on Regulatory Law, Constitutional Law, and Mediation?
Ideally for each it would be something that would do a lot of the heavy lifting of explaining the underlying structural concepts such that I wouldn't have to also assign a textbook chapter.
Thank you in advance for the brain borrowing.

I'm one of the presenters for this upcoming continuing legal education (#CLE) presentation on upgrading US military discharges. Non-lawyers (including veterans and GI Rights counselors) are welcome to attend too.

Hi legal ed friends, working on a new chapter & looking for a few folks who might be willing to share a retrieval technique they use in their (doctrinal & any skills) classrooms: low-stakes quizzing, summarizing points from last unit, etc. #LegalEd #LegalWriting #LawLibrarians /1

Really any activity you do where all students pull what they've learned out of their memory without notes. If you might be interested, plesse let me know. #LegalEd #LawLibrarians #LegalWriting /2

My webinar 'Minions and the Makers Movement: Making Complex Learning Environments More Accessible' is now available to watch on Youtube.
I cover some important points about #pedagogy, #engagement and #technology in the classroom, as well as demonstrating how fun this can be!
If you have any questions, let me know in the comments below. Thanks to University of Suffolk for giving me the chance to talk about something I am so passionate about.

The law school looks good in green.

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.

Back at work this week!
I will be giving a #learning and #teaching seminar next week (11th January 2023) through the University of Suffolk on #creativity #engagement and #technology in the classroom, titled 'Minions and the Makers Movement - Making Complex Learning More Accessible'.
I will be explaining how I have used #3DPrinting and other creative arts to increase understanding of complex areas of the #law - in areas such as #IP, #Trusts and #Wills and #Probate. Come along to hear about the advantages this new tech brings - and how badly I draw things on a whiteboard!

US News Law School rankings are flawed and exert a pernicious influence on #legaled, but we must navigate them. With 12 schools opting out so far (and more considering it), it's a fraught time for those of us with ballots. Here, I share my thoughts on the specific issues confronting those of us (1) who can vote in specialty rankings, (2) who object to US News rankings but (3) whose schools continue to participate.

Interesting how law schools are opting out of USNews in roughly USNews rank order. Wonder when we'll get our first T2 school announcement. Or our first defiant opt-in.

“For far too long, law schools have been beholden to for-profit magazine editors at U.S. News masquerading as experts on legal education. Every #lawschool and #lawstudent will benefit if we no longer spend scarce resources trying to satisfy arbitrary criteria at odds with our mission and values.”
–@berkeleylaw professor and director of the school’s Policy Advocacy Clinic Jeff Selbin, via @elienyc for the @thenation

With the renewed drama over law school rankings and their methodologies, I feel compelled to point out that there’s a (currently free) tool out there that lets anyone use all the relevant publicly available data to construct whatever ranking algorithm they want:

After careful consideration, Berkeley Law has decided not to continue to participate in the US News ranking of law schools. Although rankings are inevitable and inevitably have some arbitrary features, there are aspects of the US News rankings that are profoundly inconsistent with our values and public mission.

#LegalEd friends, I'm looking for a few doctrinal & skills profs who utilize prediction exercises in their classrooms for a project I'm working on.
I'm defining prediction as asking students to answer Qs abt a topic/issue your course lectures/materials haven't yet covered /1 -
#LawLibrarians, if you know any faculty at your school who use prediction, please let me know, too. 😀
