Techniques for Teaching Law

by Gérald Hess, Steven I. Friedland

Techniques for Teaching Law is designed to assist law teachers with the learning and teaching processes. It utilizes two primary explanations of teaching and learning theories, and practical ideas for implementing those theories in the classroom. Hess and Friedland begin each chapter with a description of the pedagogical underpinnings of each subject, followed by innovative teaching strategies from more than 100 veteran teachers, along with the name and school of each author for follow-up questions. These "classroom-tested techniques" have been fashioned from experience by their authors. The content of this book and the strategies suggested make this an interesting and useful book for every teacher, not just those in the field of law.
