Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book examines the advent of the case method of teaching law at the beginning of the 20th century at Harvard Law School and many other schools thereafter. It describes the method as having students studying decided cases to discover legal principles. Despite resistance to the new method, it became widely adopted as the best way to train aspiring lawyers to think like effective legal practitioners. The author, an Austrian legal scholar, commends this practical method which he finds to be an empirically sound way to learn the law. He finds that it is a rigorous and practical method that prepares students to analyze the law like practicing lawyers, but he also suggests ways to strengthen the method by incorporating more theoretical and historically contextual elements. Overall, the book concludes that the Langdell method revolutionized the teaching of law in the United States and is a valuable tool for training legal minds. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
