Learning Objectives

Instructional techniques in the School of Law are designed to challenge the imagination and ability of the student. The case method is employed in most first-year courses to stimulate the students own capacity for intellectual evaluation and logical deduction, to encourage meticulous reading habits and to present models of the evolution of legal principles. In upper division classes, lectures are used when appropriate, and there is emphasis on problem-solving techniques and skills training.

Also available to upper-class students are seminars which encourage group discussion and, at the same time, offer opportunities for individual research under personal faculty supervision. To stimulate active learning, instructors utilize the school's multimedia courtroom as a teaching laboratory. Their use of video tape during trial and appellate arguments allows the faculty to provide immediate and graphic feedback to the student. Professors also utilize computer data projection equipment for classroom enhancement.
