Text focusing on best practices to approach a wide range of aspects of legal information pedagogy.

Building on Best Practices is a follow-up to Best Practices for Legal Education, a project of the Clinical Legal Education Association (CLEA), authored primarily by Roy Stuckey.

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.

The contents incorporate contributions from 170 law teachers in the United States and Canada.

This book is a critical inquiry, into the identity and possibilities of legal education. It is also an exploration of transformational alternative to our current theories and practices of teaching and learning the law. It argues that interdisciplinarity is important to legal educational research and practice, and that historical and ethical awareness is essential to all stages of legal education.

What the Best Law Teachers Do offers insights into effective pedagogy that transcend the boundaries of legal education.

The book starts with basic principles of teaching and learning theory, provides insights into how law students experience traditional law teaching, and then guides the reader through the process of teaching a course.
