The focus of this issue of the Loyola Lawyer is on the Law School curriculum. The lead article provides a brief, but balanced, overview of key historic developments in law teaching as well as an explanation of notable techniques currently in use. While many changes in legal education have occurred during the past ten years, there exists the possibility of far more dramatic change in the not too distant future because of several national studies that are currently in progress. Speaking broadly, these studies are expected to provide a detailed examination of the processes and products of legal education. They promise to clarify the transition from student to lawyer. Three examples will illustrate the work being undertaken. One project is examining the teaching processes in law school and the effects of these processes on students' professional expectations, their attitudes toward the profession and the law, and the development of skill and role competencies. Another study is examining the practicing bars' views of legal education, including its relationship to career development. Particular attention will be given to the role that law schools have had, and should have, in the development of skills important to the practice of law. Finally, another project is exan1ining the development of law teaching materials - especially, the casebook - in historical context and will review the current state of the art and conclude by making recommendations for the direction that experiments with the production of instructional material ought to take over the next few decades. The impact, if any, of the information and recommendations produced by this research and analysis remains to be seen. The important point to note is that, for the first time in the history of American legal education, a significant effort is being made to introspectively analyze the contribution that law schools make in the training of lawyers. It will be some time before this work is completed. Once published, time will be needed to critically evaluate these studies with a view toward examining the need for change in curriculum and methodology. It may be that the fierce debate sparked by the introduction of the case method a century ago will be insignificant when compared to the debates which undoubtedly will follow the completion of these important works.

1 Modern Legal Education Curriculum Responsive to a Changing Society

The past decade has been a period of Loyola Law School is dedicated to unprecedented growth and adaptation in giving its students a comprehensive the field of legal education. American education so that its graduates may law schools have responded to the function effectively as attorneys in demands of over a n1illion college today's society. graduates annuallYi an increasing Loyola has been fortunate to have a percentage of whom are now seeking Jesuit heritage which forms the post~graduate and professional foundation for outstanding legal education.

This heritage is the quality changing urban society. Add to that the which makes Loyola Law School special professional requirements of the in comparison to other law schools. practicing legal community and it This heritage is also evident in the creates a situation significantly fact that Loyola is one of the oldest law different than most law schools were schools in Southern California, and is originally designed to serve. sound legal reasoning. Professors the direct descendant of St. Vincent's Law schools in general have approach students in their first year of College, the first institution of higher responded to their changing role in a law school using the Socratic method education in the area. It was founded as variety of ways. Legal education has -which increases logical and thorough the St. Vincent School of Law and began undergone a remarkable transition to understanding of legal principles.

The school also implemented a course of instruction in 11 Legal Ethics" as early as 1920, thus anticipating a rapidly developing trend in legal education today. This progressive tradition has been continued as the hallmark of Loyola Law School's innovative method of teaching throughout its 58-year history. The historical roots of legal education extend, of course, much further back in time. Law, as one of the three oldest learned professions, along with n1edicine and theology, serves as an excellent illustration of the old adage, "The more things change, the more they stay the same." It is, perhaps, curious to note that law schools today are again stressing n1any of the practical gradually evolved during the Times have changed, however, and applications of legal training which Renaissance period into a formalized we have witnessed a transition in legal have been the primary source of curriculum.
