Over on TaxProf, Paul Caron notes in What’s Wrong with Law Schoola comment by Dean Erwin Chemerinsky (UC-Irvine) that his professors at Harvard weren’t interested in their students. Caron notes that the faculty at his son’s college voted down a proposal to reduce the teaching load, and wonders if has ever done that.
With the talk about alternative outcomes and assessment measures, it will be interesting to watch what happens. Will those be limited to clinics, or will all of the law professoriate have to start worrying about whether students are actually learning?
