{"title":"A binate regulatory framework for the accreditation of law faculties in Nigerian universities: a necessity or overkill?","authors":"Eti Best Herbert, Ngozi Chinwa Ole","doi":"10.1080/03069400.2023.2258021","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/03069400.2023.2258021","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTNigeria operates a binate regulatory system for legal education under the regulatory control of the National Universities Commission (NUC) and the Council of Legal Education (CLE), which regulate the law faculties of universities and the Nigerian Law School respectively. Both regulatory bodies carry out periodic visitation exercises to confer accreditation status on the law faculties accordingly. Against the standards of the UK Better Regulation Principles (BRP) of proportionality, accountability, consistency, transparency and targeting, this paper examined the effectiveness of the NUC and CLE in exercising their regulatory functions in the regulation of legal education. In its assessment, this paper finds that the binate system falls short of the BRP. Its sanction of withdrawal of accreditation is rather extreme and not fit for instances of minor malfeasance. The activities of the binate regulatory bodies are left unsupervised and the court usually refrains from intervention. Hence, among other things, this paper suggests joint action of both bodies in carrying out accreditation exercises, which will ensure consistency and save costs. The court should also intervene in appropriate instances to prevent abuse of regulatory powers.KEYWORDS: Legal educationaccreditationBetter Regulation PrinciplesNational Universities CommissionCouncil of Legal Education Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Notes1 Charles A Riedl, “The Proper Place and Function of the Lawyer in the Society” (1951) 35 Marquette Law Review 1, 1.2 ibid.

{"title":"Storytelling: a five-tier framework and the flipped classroom approach","authors":"Jenny Y. Chan","doi":"10.1080/03069400.2023.2257501","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/03069400.2023.2257501","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTStorytelling is a popular teaching method in legal education. Despite that popularity, research on designing and delivering this method to support different learning outcomes in legal education is limited. Thus, it is the purpose of this article to build a pedagogical framework of storytelling based on current teaching practices. Conventional pedagogy has identified three storytelling approaches: (1) to help students understand legal concepts; (2) to help students learn and remember the theories and techniques about storytelling; and (3) to teach students how to tell their clients’ stories. Based on the analysis of case studies reported by law teachers, this article argues that there are at least two more storytelling approaches. This article aims to classify these storytelling approaches in a five-tier framework. Furthermore, it proposes that applying the flipped classroom method to storytelling helps law teachers teach towards learning outcomes more efficiently and effectively than the conventional approaches.KEYWORDS: Storytellingflipped classroomlearning outcomesteaching method Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author.Notes1 Jo A Tyler and Faith Mullen, “Telling Tales in School: Storytelling for Self-Reflection and Pedagogical Improvement in Clinical Legal Education” (2011) 18 Clinical Law Review 283, 295; Stefan H Krieger and Serge A Martinez, “A Tale of Election Day 2008: Teaching Storytelling through Repeated Experiences” (2010) 16 Legal Writing: The Journal of the Legal Writing Institute 117; Nancy Levit, “Legal Storytelling: The Theory and the Practice – Reflective Writing across the Curriculum” (2009) 15 Legal Writing: The Journal of the Legal Writing Institute 253, 255.
