Beyond The Paper Chase: Learning from Legal Pedagogy

Date: 

Monday, November 18, 2019, 4:00pm to 5:30pm

Location: 

Larsen Hall 106, HGSE Campus
Featured faculty: Todd Rakoff, Byrne Professor of Administrative Law, HLS
Discussant: Meira Levinson, Professor of Education, HGSE
Introduction by: Bridget Terry Long, Dean of the Faculty of Education, HGSE

What techniques do law professors use for questioning, listening, and responding? When can such approaches be leveraged by instructors in other disciplines? How can we make these strategies our own? Please join us for the new Instructional Moves (IM) Live series to explore these questions. In this session, Professor Rakoff will facilitate a discussion of a short case he uses with his students on their first day of Law School. We also will watch a brief video of that HLS class in action, and collectively reflect on his instructional strategies and their implications for our own practice.

In advance of the session, please RSVP here and read this two-page case.

Free and open to the public.

Note: This event will be videotaped and photographed.
