"Teaching Law reimagines law-school teaching and scholarship by going beyond crises
now besetting the legal academy and examining deeper and longer-lasting challenges.
The book argues that the legal academy has long neglected the needs to focus teaching
and scholarship on the ideals of justice that law fitfully serves, the political origins
of law, and the development of a respectful but critical relationship with the legal
profession. This book suggests reforms to improve the quality of legal education and
responds to concerns that law schools eschew the study of justice, rendering students
amoralist; that law schools slight the political sources of law, particularly in legislative
action; and that law schools have ignored the profession entirely. These areas of
neglect have impoverished legal teaching and scholarship as the academy is refashioned
in response to current financial exigencies, and addressing them is long overdue"
