Expert Learning for Law Students is designed to help law students build the analytical skills necessary to succeed in law school, on the bar exam, and in law practice. Based on the findings of hundreds of educational studies, this book reveals how successful law students and lawyers plan, monitor, and implement their work. It also explains how experts reflect on their learning processes and identify any necessary adjustments to those processes, and it provides detailed guidance regarding individual student personality types and learning styles. The book includes more than 50 charts and graphics as well as numerous examples of how to select and implement strategies for case reading and case briefing, taking notes, memorizing, managing time, stress and workload, developing legal analysis skills, and preparing for and taking law school examinations. An accompanying workbook includes questions and exercises to assist students in practicing the concepts explained in the text. Expert Learning, accompanied by a teacher's manual, has been successfully used as part of law school introductory programs and in academic support programs. It can also be used by individual students as a study guide or aid.

Professors Michael Hunter Schwartz, Sophie Sparrow and Gerry Hess, three leaders in the teaching and learning movement in legal education, have collaborated to offer a new book designed to synthesize the latest research on teaching and learning for new and experienced law teachers. The book begins with basic principles of teaching and learning theory, provides insights into how law students experience traditional law teaching, and then guides law teachers through the entire process of teaching a course. The topics addressed include: how to plan a course; how to design a syllabus and select a text; how to plan individual class sessions; how to engage and motivate students, even those tough-to-crack second- and third-year students; how to use a wide variety of teaching techniques; how to evaluate student learning, both for the purposes of assigning grades and of improving student learning; and how to be a lifelong learner as a teacher.
