the other side

Spurred on by a recent legal writing professors' listserve discussion, Lisa McElroy and Chris Coughlin have written an article on the cognitive reasons why students have difficulty formulating counter-analysis and how we can best help students to analyze “the other side of the story.”  Their article is forthcoming in the Baltimore Law Review and is called The Other Side of the Story: Using Graphic Organizers as Cognitive Learning Tools to Teach Students to Construct Effective Counter-Analysis.  You can access it now, via SSRN, just by clicking on the title above.
