On the surface, law schools today are thriving. Enrollments are on the rise, and their resources are often the envy of every other university department. Yet behind the flourishing facade, law schools are failing abjectly. Recent front-page stories have detailed widespread dubious practices, misleading placement reports, and the fundamental failure to prepare graduates to enter the profession. Addressing all these problems and more in a ringing critique is renowned legal scholar Brian Z. Tamanaha. Piece by piece, Tamanaha lays out the how and why of the crisis and the likely consequences if the current trend continues. At the heart of the problem, he argues, are the economic demands and competitive pressures on law schools - driven by competition over U.S. News and World Report ranking. When paired with a lack of regulatory oversight, the work environment of professors, the limited information available to prospective students, and loan-based tuition financing, the result is a system that is fundamentally unsustainable. With "Failing Law Schools", Tamanaha has provided the perfect resource for assessing what's wrong with law schools and figuring out how to fix them.
Law professors have the best job in the world: work limit 8 hours a week, make around 300000 dollars a year. Law schools are operated to serve the professors and the law students have to pay for the skyrocketing tuitions. It's wise to shift from elite education to a public one.
评分学术考核与声望排名绑架了美国法学教育,逐年攀升的学费和学生负债率(量),使得读法学院成为一件高风险的事情。学院与教授的合谋,使得学生其实无法在这一体制中获益,反而成为这一体制成本的承担者。精英固化作用也日趋明显,要么进前二十的学院,并且成为年纪前百分之三十,否则学习法律在经济上不再划算。可惜的是,理论出身的作者为什么不讨论一下法学院定位与课程安排?书评:https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/SU91RqMIHK8UexdPKX5eGw

评分【Chicago Series in Law and Society系列】Tamanaha的通俗作品,从法学院教育资源、考试、社会经济及市场需求等几个方面来探讨美国法学院衰落之原因。大多是粗线条的数据分析,第一、三部分讨论法学院的人员输出及评价体系,对于尝试进入美国法学院的人来说,或许有一定的指导。最有价值的是第二部分对法学教育年限、教学方式及教授工作的讨论。培养目的的偏离、学术产出与实践的脱节等问题,无不在中国也同样发生。
