One of the most pressing challenges for today’s law school curriculum is how to incorporate the subjects and questions of the modern regulatory state into the way we traditionally teach law. As of fall 2014, some thirty law schools require either a Legislation or a Legislation-Regulation (LegReg) course for first-year students. Other law schools are currently debating a required course or “trying out” related models, and faculty at schools without such requirements or models have expressed interest.
The program will examine the benefits and drawbacks of adding LegReg or Legislation to the core curriculum. Among the questions to be addressed are: Why require such a course? How do we decide what its content should be? Are there distinct pedagogical aspects to teaching such a course to 1Ls? What are the challenges of changing a law school’s core curriculum in this way? What is the impact of these courses on current upper level statutory/regulatory courses and on the standard administrative law course?
Business meeting at program conclusion.
