Abstract

ABSTRACT In recent years, educators have sought to diversify the types of assessment used in the legal curriculum. This article introduces a novel form of assessment: the legal judgment. Much like a classic “problem question”, a “legal judgment” presents students with a factual scenario to analyse. However, rather than ask students to provide legal advice, the legal judgment asks students to decide the case by issuing a written judgment. This article showcases this form of assessment while exploring its advantages and challenges. The article argues that this novel twist on the classic law school problem question helps students to develop higher-order legal reasoning abilities, is more intellectually inspiring than the classic problem question, and encourages students to truly “think like lawyers”.

法律裁判：对经典法学院问题的一种新颖的扭曲

摘要近年来，教育工作者试图使法律课程中使用的评估类型多样化。本文介绍了一种新颖的评估形式：法律判决。就像经典的“问题题”一样，“法律判决”为学生提供了一个需要分析的事实场景。然而，法律判决书并没有要求学生提供法律咨询，而是要求学生通过发布书面判决书来决定案件。本文展示了这种评估形式，同时探讨了它的优势和挑战。文章认为，这种对法学院经典问题的新颖扭曲有助于学生培养更高层次的法律推理能力，比经典问题更具智力启发性，并鼓励学生真正“像律师一样思考”。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
