Transforming Legal Education

by Paul Maharg

"This book is a critical inquiry, into the identity and possibilities of legal education. It is also an exploration of transformational alternative to our current theories and practices of teaching and learning the law. It argues that interdisciplinarity is important to legal educational research and practice, and that historical and ethical awareness is essential to all stages of legal education. In addition it proposes that new learning designs such as transactional learning need to be developed to help student, educators and lawyers deal with the transitions and challenges facing them now and in the foreseeable future. Throughout, theoretical discussions are spliced with case studies of academic and professional legal learning, particularly in the field of technology-enhanced learning."--BOOK JACKET.
