Teaching Law

This book for law professors has fourteen chapters following a typical law school term. Chapter topics include Course Objectives, Syllabi, Lectures, Socratic Method, Differentiating Instruction, Integrating Instruction, Assessment, Multiple Choice Questions, Essay Questions, and Scoring and Grading. The book includes a beginning chapter on Pedagogy to help professors appreciate theoretical schools on education and the history of law teaching, and a concluding chapter on Teaching Vision.
