William Twining

Opis

This collection treats the academic discipline of law as an enterprise that includes not only education, but also scholarship, theorizing, and the production of literature. The essays offer a coherent exploration of the study of law and a radical reappraisal of the role, culture, and practices of law schools.

Recenzje

I found this book... quite inspirational ... Professor Twining has covered a large canvas in this collection of essays. He has done so in both a clear and engaging manner ... written with a refreshing breadth of vision ... this is a book which sums up in an engagingly personal way most of the important developments in legal education in the past forty years...
