When our social work and law classes were scheduled during the same timeslot, we took advantage of this unique opportunity to engage in a series of joint classroom activities throughout the semester. We ran three activities that encouraged students to reflect on the roles of their professions when working with shared clients. Our aim was to create an interdisciplinary learning experience that allowed law and social work students to better understand one another and appreciate the role that each profession can play in bringing about positive outcomes for clients. Previous research suggests that personality differences, stereotypes and lack of knowledge about professional roles creates barriers to interdisciplinary learning for social work and law students. However, we found that student attendance and institutional barriers posed the greatest challenges to shared learning programs like ours.
当我们的社会工作和法律课程被安排在同一时间段时,我们利用这个独特的机会在整个学期中参与了一系列的联合课堂活动。我们开展了三项活动,鼓励学生在与共同客户合作时反思他们的职业角色。我们的目标是创造一种跨学科的学习体验,让法律和社会工作专业的学生更好地了解彼此,并欣赏每个专业在为客户带来积极成果方面所发挥的作用。先前的研究表明,性格差异、刻板印象和缺乏对专业角色的了解,给社会工作和法律专业的学生带来了跨学科学习的障碍。然而,我们发现学生出勤率和制度障碍对我们这样的共享学习项目构成了最大的挑战。

This article reports on the lived experiences of 30 students completing a two-week intensive course on Dispute Resolution (DR) at the University of Western Australia Law School in 2021. The course was delivered fully-online in the first week, and in a traditional face-to-face setting in the second week. The adoption of online learning was in response to a government-mandated lockdown to combat the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic created a new landscape for higher education providers, where teachers needed to implement rapid adjustments to the delivery of legal education. By providing students with activities designed to capture their experiences with face-to-face and online delivery modes in the context of DR, Law School staff were able to gain valuable insight into the life of a law student during this time. The qualitative and quantitative findings revealed that the transition to online delivery was in some ways paradoxical, as students reported both benefits and limitations. This article contributes to accumulating literature exploring the impact of online delivery of education within a law school context, highlighting the potential barriers and facilitators to effective implementation identified by students. Further inquiry remains imperative in a post COVID-19 landscape where online delivery is increasingly relevant.
本文报道了2021年在西澳大利亚大学法学院完成为期两周的争议解决强化课程的30名学生的生活经历。该课程在第一周完全在线授课,第二周在传统的面对面授课。采用在线学习是为了应对政府为抗击持续的新冠肺炎疫情而强制实施的封锁。疫情为高等教育提供者创造了一个新的局面,教师需要对法律教育的提供进行快速调整。通过为学生提供旨在捕捉他们在DR背景下面对面和在线交付模式体验的活动,法学院的工作人员能够对法学院学生在此期间的生活获得宝贵的见解。定性和定量研究结果表明,向在线交付的过渡在某些方面是矛盾的,因为学生们报告了好处和局限性。本文有助于积累文献,探讨法学院背景下在线教育的影响,强调学生发现的有效实施的潜在障碍和促进因素。在新冠肺炎后的形势下,在线送货越来越重要,进一步调查仍然势在必行。

Using results from surveys conducted in 2003 and 2018, we examined the perceived importance attributed to a set of specific tasks taught by faculty in required law school courses, with each questionnaire item in the survey corresponding to a task that describes a particular competency, such as critical reading. In this study, the results from two surveys completed by instructors of required law school courses are reported for a set of survey tasks representing competencies that regularly appear as topics in the legal education literature. We asked survey respondents to indicate the importance of each set of tasks for success in such courses. While one goal was to identify the competencies perceived as important by the faculty in required courses, another goal was to identify which competencies are becoming more or less important over time.
利用2003年和2018年进行的调查结果,我们检查了教师在法学院必修课上教授的一系列特定任务的重要性,调查中的每个问卷项目都对应于描述特定能力的任务,如批判性阅读。在这项研究中,报告了法学院必修课程讲师完成的两项调查的结果,这些调查任务代表了法律教育文献中经常出现的能力。我们要求调查对象指出每组任务对此类课程成功的重要性。一个目标是确定教师在必修课中认为重要的能力,另一个目标则是确定哪些能力随着时间的推移变得越来越重要。

Electronic Audio Feedback in Legal Education 法律教育中的电子音频反馈
IF 0.3 Pub Date : 2022-10-25 DOI: 10.53300/001c.39640

The provision of high quality, effective feedback is critical to supporting student learning. In tertiary legal education, student feedback is commonly provided in written form, with the benefits of audio or multimodal feedback underexplored. Academics regularly express dissatisfaction regarding the time it takes to provide assessment feedback and a perceived lack of student engagement with it. Students also report concerns relating to the tone, quality and timeliness of the feedback they receive. This article discusses the findings of a program which used electronic audio feedback amongst undergraduate and postgraduate law students at an Australian university to explore whether a change in mode from written to audio or multimodal feedback could offer a solution to these challenges. It explains the pedagogical implications that arose from the use of electronic audio feedback, including that the provision of feedback in an audio mode allowed for the provision of more detailed feedback in a comparably shorter period of time; compelled students to engage with feedback in a sustained fashion; was able to simulate an authentic feedback experience in professional practice; better facilitated personalised, constructive feedback; and, when used alongside written feedback, catered to a greater variety of learning approaches.
提供高质量、有效的反馈对支持学生学习至关重要。在高等法律教育中,学生的反馈通常以书面形式提供,而音频或多模式反馈的好处尚未得到充分开发。学者们经常对提供评估反馈所需的时间和学生缺乏参与表示不满。学生们还反映了他们对反馈的语气、质量和及时性的担忧。本文讨论了一个项目的研究结果,该项目在澳大利亚一所大学的法学本科生和研究生中使用电子音频反馈,以探索从书面到音频或多模态反馈模式的改变是否可以提供解决这些挑战的方法。它解释了使用电子音频反馈所产生的教学影响,包括以音频方式提供反馈可以在相对较短的时间内提供更详细的反馈;迫使学生以持续的方式参与反馈;能够在专业实践中模拟真实的反馈体验;更便利的个性化、建设性反馈;并且,当与书面反馈一起使用时,迎合了更多种类的学习方法。

Having completed multiple periods of legal work experience is often regarded as ‘pseudo mandatory’ for an Australian law graduate to be competitive for professional legal positions. This article explores the implications of these expectations, at a systems level, but also individually for past and recent graduates, and current students. It does this through both an exploration of literature, and through an ‘auto-ethnography’ in which the authors’ present their own experiences of seeking legal work experience and graduate legal positions. These data sources shed new light on the costs of expectations that graduates should already have practical legal work on their CVs, which calls into question the broad encouragement of work experience by universities, legal firms, and law societies.
完成多个阶段的法律工作经验通常被认为是澳大利亚法律毕业生在专业法律职位上具有竞争力的“伪强制性”。本文在系统层面上探讨了这些期望的含义,也分别针对过去和最近的毕业生以及当前的学生。它通过对文学的探索和“自我民族志”来做到这一点,其中作者“展示了他们自己寻求法律工作经验和毕业法律职位的经历”。这些数据来源揭示了期望毕业生在简历上已经有实际法律工作经历的成本,这让人质疑大学、律师事务所和律师协会对工作经验的广泛鼓励。

Building a (Self) Reflective Muscle in Diverse First-Year Law Students 培养多样化的法学院一年级学生的(自我)反思能力
IF 0.3 Pub Date : 2022-06-28 DOI: 10.53300/001c.36738

Research relating to the development of law students’ professional identity has long recognised that as they develop their identity as part of a profession, as well as their academic identity, they need to develop an ‘ethical muscle’. In addition to the idea of an ‘ethical muscle’ others have proposed that students, and lawyers, need to develop a ‘reflective muscle’. Self-reflection, a form of personal reflection that asks students to question themselves, their actions, and behaviours, is particularly important for ‘diverse’ or ‘non-traditional’ law students. These students often experience a disconnect between their expectations of university, and their lived experience, which is overlaid by the complications of the hidden curriculum. These factors may combine to result in diverse students attributing their lack of success early in their studies to a lack of ability, rather than to structural impediments in a system that does not make the ‘rules of the game’ explicit. This mixed-methods study examines one aspect of a holistic first-year transition program for a diverse first-year law cohort: a Self-Reflection Survey. It demonstrates that an instrument such as the Self-Reflection Survey might be used to scaffold diverse students’ self-reflection skills and assist law schools to manage students’ expectations, make explicit aspects of the curriculum that may otherwise be hidden from them, and instil an early sense of professionalism and purpose. Supporting the transition of diverse students to university does not end with entering university; this is where it starts. The results of this study provide encouraging ways forward to build the likelihood of success of diverse students in their law studies.
与法律专业学生职业身份发展相关的研究早就认识到,当他们发展自己作为职业一部分的身份以及学术身份时,他们需要发展“道德肌肉”。除了“道德肌肉”的概念外,其他人还提出,学生和律师需要培养“反思肌肉”。自我反思是一种个人反思形式,要求学生质疑自己、自己的行为和行为,对于“多样化”或“非传统”的法律系学生来说尤为重要。这些学生经常经历他们对大学的期望和生活经历之间的脱节,这被隐藏课程的复杂性所覆盖。这些因素结合在一起,可能会导致不同的学生将他们在学习初期缺乏成功归因于缺乏能力,而不是一个没有明确“游戏规则”的系统中的结构性障碍。这项混合方法研究考察了针对不同法律一年级学生的整体一年级过渡计划的一个方面:自我反思调查。它表明,像自我反思调查这样的工具可以用来培养不同学生的自我反思技能,帮助法学院管理学生的期望,明确课程中可能对他们隐藏的方面,并灌输早期的专业精神和目标感。支持多样化学生向大学过渡并不是以进入大学而结束的;这就是它的起点。这项研究的结果为培养不同学生在法律学习中取得成功的可能性提供了令人鼓舞的途径。

This article contributes to the debate over the place of skills in the law curriculum, offering observations from the author’s experience in scaffolding critical thinking skills and coding into an online legal philosophy class at the University of Canberra. It begins by justifying the selection of critical thinking and coding as skills that should be better integrated into the law curriculum in the 21st century. It then describes pedagogical models for improving students’ skills through scaffolding and other strategies. It proceeds to explain how these can be implemented to facilitate students’ critical thinking and coding skills and, in a complementary way, mastery of the subject matter. The article suggests how different types of skills can be integrated into law units and how the risks of over-crowding the curriculum can be managed. The conclusion reiterates the importance of critical thinking and coding skills and urges other educators to consider how these and other skills can be better integrated into their teaching.
这篇文章为关于技能在法律课程中的地位的辩论做出了贡献,提供了作者在堪培拉大学建立批判性思维技能和将其编码到在线法律哲学课程中的经验。它首先证明了批判性思维和编码的选择是正确的,这些技能应该更好地融入21世纪的法律课程。然后介绍了通过脚手架和其他策略提高学生技能的教学模式。它继续解释如何实施这些措施,以促进学生的批判性思维和编码技能,并以互补的方式掌握主题。文章建议如何将不同类型的技能融入法律单元,以及如何管理课程过度拥挤的风险。结论重申了批判性思维和编码技能的重要性,并敦促其他教育工作者考虑如何将这些技能和其他技能更好地融入教学中。

A Learning and Teaching Method for the Online Environment that Delivers: Coupling a Soft Socratic Method with a Humanistic, Nurturing Approach 提供在线环境的学习和教学方法:将软苏格拉底方法与人文培养方法相结合
IF 0.3 Pub Date : 2022-05-23 DOI: 10.53300/001c.35839
A. Evans
There is limited literature on soft Socratic methods of teaching in Law and limited literature on effective teaching methods for the online environment. With the movement of learning and teaching online by universities in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and attendant lockdowns, one question became important – what is a successful pedagogical method for the online environment? While universities initially saw this as a temporary, emergency measure, learning and teaching online now looks to be more of a permanent change in tertiary education. This article evaluates the effectiveness of a student-focused teaching method, which couples a soft version of the Socratic Method with a Humanistic, nurturing approach, that I observed in Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law Noah Feldman and Ropes & Gray Professor Alvin C Warren Jnr’s classes at Harvard Law School in 2013, and then adapted for the online environment and refined between 2016 and 2018. The evaluation is made using the four lenses from Stephen Brookfield’s book Becoming a Critically Reflective Teacher. Those lenses are: contextualisation in theory; students’ eyes; colleagues’ perception, and self-reflection. For the theoretical lens, the article analyses the traditional Socratic Method and the wide-ranging criticisms of it. The article then presents data collected from student surveys, peer reviews and self-reflection as a preliminary study. It is hoped that this article will assist other academics who are navigating online learning and teaching, and are curious about techniques and methodologies that have grown out of institutions in the United States of America. While this method was developed to teach Tax Law at a postgraduate level in groups of between 18 and 50 students, the technique could easily be applied in teaching: undergraduate students; students in other courses in Law, and in other disciplines.
关于软苏格拉底式的法学教学方法的文献很少,关于网络环境下有效的法学教学方法的文献也很少。由于2019冠状病毒病大流行和随之而来的封锁,2020年大学将转向在线学习和教学,一个问题变得重要起来——什么是在线环境中成功的教学方法?虽然大学最初认为这是一种临时的紧急措施,但现在在线学习和教学似乎更像是高等教育的一种永久性变化。本文评估了以学生为中心的教学方法的有效性,该方法将苏格拉底方法的软版本与人文主义的培养方法相结合,我于2013年在哈佛法学院的Felix Frankfurter法学教授Noah Feldman和Ropes & Gray教授Alvin C . Warren jr .的课程中观察到,然后在2016年至2018年期间针对在线环境进行了调整和完善。评估是使用斯蒂芬·布鲁克菲尔德的书《成为一个批判性反思的教师》中的四个镜头进行的。这些视角是:理论上的语境化;学生的眼睛;同事的看法,以及自我反省。在理论层面,本文分析了传统的苏格拉底方法及其广泛的批评。然后,文章将从学生调查、同行评议和自我反思中收集的数据作为初步研究。希望这篇文章能够帮助其他正在进行在线学习和教学的学者,并对美国机构发展起来的技术和方法感到好奇。虽然这种方法是为了在18到50名学生之间的研究生阶段教授税法而开发的,但这种技术很容易应用于教学:本科生;其他法律课程和其他学科的学生。

While this method was developed to teach Tax Law at a postgraduate level in groups of between 18 and 50 students, the technique could easily be applied in teaching: undergraduate students; students in other courses in Law, and in other disciplines.","PeriodicalId":43058,"journal":{"name":"Legal Education Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41520696","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Technology law is rapidly growing in importance as subject of legal study and scholarship. Although this is beginning to be recognised by accreditation bodies and legal academics, a range of factors contribute to it not being taught as effectively as it should be, including a lack of expertise and the pace at which technology is advancing. Knowledge and understanding of technology law should be recognised as vital for law students and a necessary part of the contemporary law curriculum. Legal education must adapt to ensure students are prepared for the rapidly growing impact of new technologies on the legal system. This purpose of this article is to highlight the importance of the field and propose that it be taught through a core, stand-alone technology law subject within law degrees.
技术法作为法律研究和学术的主题,其重要性正在迅速增长。尽管这一点开始得到认证机构和法律学者的认可,但一系列因素导致它没有得到应有的有效教学,包括缺乏专业知识和技术进步的速度。应认识到技术法的知识和理解对法律学生至关重要,是当代法律课程的必要组成部分。法律教育必须进行调整,以确保学生做好准备,应对新技术对法律体系迅速增长的影响。本文的目的是强调该领域的重要性,并建议在法律学位范围内通过一门核心的、独立的技术法律科目来教授该领域。
