The Case Method: There's a Better One?

Jan Novak, Associate Director jan.novak@law.csuohio.edu | October 31, 2007 - 13:41

In A Tale of Two Case Methods University of Tennessee Law Professor Benjamin Barton argues that the business school approach to the case method provides a better model for law school instruction than the traditional law school version. Marked by its emphasis on the problem solving process, real-life issues, team work, and continuous feedback, the business school case method, in his view, would prepare lawyers more effectively for the realities of legal practice. He also offers some controversial thoughts on why law schools and even legal practitioners might resist the reforms he advocates.
