Over at TaxProfBlog, I found the abstract of a great new article by Jay Sterling Silver of St. Thomas: Pedagogically Sound Cuts, Tighter (Not Looser) Accreditation Standards, and a Well-oiled Doomsday Machine: The Responsible Way Out of the Crisis in Legal Education, 66 Rutgers L. Rev. 353 (2014). Professor Silver has some excellent ideas. I couldn't find the article posted publically anywhere, so you will have to use your WestLaw or Lexis subscription to get it. If anyone has a link to it, please put it in the comments.
Just read the abstract.
I like his description of the law school mission.
Sounds familiar to me. And right.
Too bad so many in legal academia would find that description completely inapplicable to their work.
