  • The Impact of the Web on the Business Of
    RUTGERS LAW RECORD Volume 29 Spring 2005 Number 21 “A SUGGESTION OF A FUNDAMENTAL NATURE”: IMAGINING A LEGAL EDUCATION OF SOLELY ELECTIVES TAUGHT AS DISCUSSIONS By Christophe G. Courchesne * Article Abstract The article offers a proposal for reforming American legal education. Commentary about legal education is rich with sharp criticism of the dominant model for law schools, a set of institutions and pedagogical assumptions that date to the nineteenth- century innovations of Harvard Law School Dean Christopher Columbus Langdell. The picture of modern legal education that emerges from these commentaries is one of missed intellectual opportunities, student disengagement and passivity, hostility to women and minorities, and declining academic rigor. Unfortunately, most of the literature either stops short of prescribing specific solutions or descends into a vague incrementalism, failing to come to a complete reckoning with the extent of the identified problems in law schools still operating within Langdell’s paradigm. Yet, the article argues, no matter how unlikely any particular proposal’s adoption, the legal academy should not shrink from taking steps to reform itself at least as bold as Langdell’s own “big ideas.” Aiming to improve law student outcomes and invigorate the process of legal education with the intellectual energy that it now tends to lack, the article describes a dramatic alternative to Langdell’s law school. In short, the proposal calls for discarding Langdell’s pedagogy and his architecture in favor of oval wooden tables, uniformly smaller classes of about twelve students, and complete freedom of curricular choice for students during all three years. Recalling the history and * Law Clerk, Justice Robert J.

  • The Conference Method, Or Harkness Pedagogy: Listening for Discussion
    The Conference Method, or Harkness Pedagogy: Listening for Discussion Abstract Harkness pedagogy celebrated its 80th birthday in 2011.Though the “pedagogy” (it is variously described as a mode, method, and style of teaching) is relatively old and widely used, little has been written about by those unaffiliated with its birthplace, Phillips­Exeter Academy. The present essay, then, has two aims. First, it aims to introduce Harkness pedagogy to academic audiences interested in pedagogies of listening and discussion. Drawing on archival documents, original manuals composed by Harkness teachers, and relevant philosophy the paper sketches the pedagogy’s history and practice. Second, the paper will establish that there is a mode of listening ​ unique to Harkness pedagogy called listening for discussion. ​ ​ Introduction I first heard about Harkness pedagogy from a friend. He was listening to me complain about how my high school seniors would not listen to me. I was teaching Theory of Knowledge, part of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program, at an American international school in Quito, Ecuador. My job, essentially, was to facilitate discussions with students about topics of interest. As a young ignorant gringo, only a few years older than them and with little experience of their culture, I was teaching a class of which very few of them understood the point—so they did not listen. I was going to try something new, though. I had noticed that these seniors—waiting for graduation already in October—would discuss amongst themselves. They would have fruitful and interesting discussions despite me, listening and speaking to one another in turns as I was trying to get class started.
