The author challenges the conventional perception: that training law students in technology can be delegated exclusively to some one other than the professor. Legal educators can no longer avoid responsibility for educating their graduates in a way which does not adequately prepare them for the existing and future demands of law practice. This article does not address the initial form of Distance Learning--where one teacher conducts a class in two or more locations via televideo. Instead, the author provides advice on the advantages and disadvantages of three available modes for the "other" educational medium: (1) an e-mail extension of the classroom; (2) using the Internet to augment classroom resources; and/or (3) undertaking a fully electronic class--with no physical location for teacher or student, with all class materials and the examination(s) being conducted online.

This essay offers a defense of ‘intellectual authority’, primarily by pointing out the untoward implications of its conceptual opposite, ‘institutional authority’, in a wide variety of contexts. An opening discussion explores conditions for the possibility of intellectual authority in legal, humanistic, and aesthetic disciplines. Social science literature documenting and describing the biasing influence of institutional authority is then canvassed and analyzed in some detail. A final section assays the theoretical significance of various efforts to eliminate non‐intellectual bias and influence, with special reference to the example of “blind reviewing’ of scholarly manuscripts.

This article was part of a symposium organized by Roger Cramton in The Journal of Legal Education. Most ethical issues addressed by the Model Rules of Professional Responsibility arise during litigation. This article suggests that many opportunities to discuss ethical issues arise in the Contracts class; most of these involve planning, negotiating and drafting rather than litigation. Specific examples are provided, with references to case citations and to the Model Rules.

American medicine has a longstanding tradition of quality assurance. Since the early 1900s, medical researchers have sought to determine what appropriate medical care is and how that care should be evaluated. The endeavor to judge medical quality by assessing process and outcome is now a routine procedure in medical practice.1 Perhaps the most widely established form of medical quality assurance is peer review, in which health professional committees assess the work of colleagues through a set of agreed-upon evaluation measures. Because of the legal issues it raises, medical peer review is an area of interest for teachers of health law.

Because of the increasing importance of economics in legal proceedings, many law schools have recently introduced economics courses into their curricula. The purpose of such courses is not to train lawyers as economists or even to "make students into better citizens" but rather to acquaint law students with the relation of concepts of efficiency to policy issues and to equip them to consult with, learn from, and examine and cross-examine economics experts. The courses vary in content, but Posner (1977), the single textbook in the field, serves as a unifying force.' To fulfill the purposes described above, Vanderbilt Law School offers Economic Analysis of Law. It consists of an intensive fouror five-week study of principles of microeconomics followed by nine to ten weeks of applications of economics to contracts, property, torts, family law, crime, and legal procedure. There are three examinations, one each after the principles short course, the applications section on contracts, property, and family law, and the section on torts, crime, and legal procedure.
