Once again, Sharon Press and Bobbi McAdoo, of Mitchell Hamline, organized a resource share at the Legal Educators’ Colloquium at the ABA conference earlier this month. They compiled all the suggestions that people shared in this document, which also includes suggestions from prior conferences. Lots of ideas for your courses next year. (But first, summer!) … Continue reading Legal Educators’ Resources Galore!
Jim Coben was shocked, shocked that I didn’t mention multi-stage simulations (MSS) at the Legal Educators’ Colloquium Resource Share. (I was dutifully following instructions to focus on new stuff.) To help Jim recover from his shock, I am posting this item. Also to jog your memories and provide an update. After last year’s conference, I … Continue reading Multi-Stage Simulations and Enjoying Grading Redux

Probably like many readers of this blog, I have been so busy with many things at work that I rarely have taken the time to study something in depth unless it was necessary for some work project. For many of us, the last time we really did so was when we were in school as … Continue reading A Wonderful Opportunity to Learn More About Negotiation
The New York Times just published a piece that really grabs me. It is a collection of photos and quotes of Iranians about their expectations from the recent agreement prohibiting Iranian nuclear weapon development. For one thing, the photos are wonderfully compelling and artistic images. They display the faces of people from a country considered … Continue reading Seeing Through Others’ Eyes
In a recent post, I mentioned that as a DR person, I particularly like the Serial podcast, and Erin Archerd asked why.
