The Strange Case of the Case Method by Deborah Jones Merritt

The Strange Case of the Case Method by Deborah Jones Merritt.

Excerpt:

"I doubt that the method ever achieved as much as it claims, except perhaps for the highest achieving students in a classroom. Today, the method has been quietly subverted to accomplish primarily the fifth goal: instructing students on doctrinal principles. Law schools stake their value on teaching the other four cognitive skills listed above, but we deliver less of that learning than we believe."
