Specifically, this article will: (1) identify the legal skills taught in legal writing and judicial externship courses; (2) discuss different teaching approaches with a focus on the social perspective; and (3) introduce various teaching techniques that are effective methods of acculturating law students into the practice of law.","PeriodicalId":44667,"journal":{"name":"Catholic University Law Review","volume":"51 1","pages":"215-244"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2003-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68596593","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the first part of the course, where the justifications for and the problems with judicial review are established, the arguments make some sense and the subject has some shape. The painful part begins with the examination of the actual case law of the United States Supreme'Court. In area after area this requires explication of elaborate \"tests\" the Court has developed for deciding whether or not some challenged action is consistent with some part of the Constitution. These tests have the appearance of precision and logic. Once mastered, they need only be applied to the particular activity at issue. If a state has treated children of married and unmarried women differently in distributing some public benefit, we apply the test for discrimination based on parental marital status or \"illegitimacy.\" We ask whether the state's distinction is substantially related to the achievement of a proper governmental interest.' If so, the state's action is valid. If not, it violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. If a state has put restrictions on telephone sales solicitors, we apply the test for limitations of commercial speech. We ask first whether the expression regulated concerns unlawful activity or is misleading. If not, we must inquire whether the state's interest in restricting the expression is substantial, whether the limitations advance that interest, and whether they are no greater than necessary to serve that interest. 2","PeriodicalId":44667,"journal":{"name":"Catholic University Law Review","volume":"39 1","pages":"187-194"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"1989-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71034223","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We can pay no better tribute to his sense of professional responsibility than to consider together the far-reaching consequences of judicial decisions in our own day on the now crucial problems of criminal procedure. Lawyers as well as laymen often voice extreme views on the problem of crime in the catch phrases of the day, and today's vogue is to pitch them at courts. A giant problem is in no measure solved, however, by indiscriminate charges that the courts have a predilection either for coddling criminals or for depriving those suspected of crime of whatever due process is due them. We might better concern ourselves with reinforcing the words of Mr. Justice Clark: \"There is no war between the Constitution and common sense.\"'1 Certainly there need be no war. It could break out at any time, however, unless we succeed in bringing constitutional doctrines down to earth on the homely local scenes. That may prove even more of a challenge than the launching of such doctrines, for landings often call for more skill than takeoffs. It is no secret that we have had some spectacular takeoffs in recent years. Our concern with pretrial criminal procedure has correspondingly grown in the time span encompassing the McNabb-Mallory2 doctrine on limiting prearraignment interrogation to foster prompt arraignment, the Mapp3 decision extending to states the rule excluding evidence obtained from unconstitutional searches and seizures, and the","PeriodicalId":44667,"journal":{"name":"Catholic University Law Review","volume":"33 1","pages":"16"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"1966-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2307/1598505","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68513528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
