	Law.com - Law Schools: Diverse in All but Viewpoint?
		Now that the truth is out, law school faculties are likely to come under increased pressure to surrender some of their hiring autonomy.
		Liberal faculty at these schools, like their (rare) conservative colleagues, believe what they teach, and there is no reason to label their liberal teachings as wrong just because conservatives often disagree with them.
		If faculties are to be first-rate, they must continue to select their own colleagues, and academic freedom must be protected even for those who pay mere lip service to viewpoint diversity.

	International Commission of Jurists: "The Rule of Law and Human Rights Principles and Definitions" - Chapter ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		In those countries where faculties of law are controlled by the state there is a special need for protecting the independence of the teaching staff by firm guarantees such as faculty appointments by open competition, security of tenure and the recognition of the traditional academic freedoms.
		Faculties of law controlled by the state should enjoy a wide measure of autonomy in administrative and academic matters and should be entitled to apply their financial resources as they think fit for purposes of legal education.
		Faculties of law are advised to pay very close attention to the pertinent recommendations of the specialized agencies of the United Nations and associated regional agencies.

		As a coalition of law schools prepares to battle the Department of Defense in a case before the U.S. Supreme Court next term involving a law that requires the accommodation of military recruiters on their campuses, a group of nearly 100 law professors and students have filed a brief siding with the government.

		Again, that interpretation is lawful without which the dispensation would prove hurtful or useless to the beneficiary, also that which extends the benefits of the dispensation to whatever is juridically connected with it.
		These faculties are granted by fixed "formulæ", in which the Holy See from time to time, or as occasion requires it, makes some slight modifications.
		Faculties granted for a fixed period of time, or a limited number of cases, cease when the period or number has been reached; but while awaiting their renewal the bishop, unless culpably negligent, may continue to use them provisionally.

	DECREE
		Recognizing the difficulties canon law faculties are experiencing in imparting the necessary formation to students, the Congregation for Catholic Education in 1997 sent to all the faculties and institutes of canon law that it had itself established a questionnaire requesting information on the state of each one.
		Students who successfully completed the philosophical-theological curriculum in a seminary or in a theological faculty can be admitted immediately into the second cycle, unless the Dean deems it necessary or opportune, prior to their admittance, to require that they take a preliminary course in Latin or in the fundamental concepts of canon law.
		Students who hold an academic degree in civil law may be dispensed from some courses of the second cycle (such as Roman law and civil law), but may not be exempt from the three-year curriculum of studies for the licence.

	Promoting international humanitarian law in higher education and universities in the countries of the Commonwealth of ...
		Any attempt to spread knowledge of international humanitarian law (the law of armed conflict) and its corresponding obligations among the military and political authorities of a country must be matched by an effort to introduce the subject into academic programmes, where the subject will be taught and studied in greater depth.
		Today, international humanitarian law is a minor component of the academic curriculum at universities in the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), constituting only a small part of the public international law course offered at leading law faculties.
		Exposés and series of lectures on international humanitarian law are given by ICRC representatives in various academic fora, and a student moot-court competition between law faculties in the region, the De Martens Competition, was held as a pilot project in Moscow from 23 to 27 April 1997.

	The Volokh Conspiracy - Political Diversity on Law School Faculties.-- (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Law profs are less influential because they are less and less on the side of the people at the levers of power.
		Law schools ought to emphasize the ability to understand and anticipate arguments from the opposing side, in constitutional law and other "political" legal fields as well as in traditionally less politically-tinged subjects.
		When a law school faculty is overwhelmingly partisan to one end of the political spectrum, then students on that same end of the spectrum are basically spoon-fed views with which they already agree.

	Environmental Law Programme
		The field of environmental law is now so complex that it has become hard for IUCN's several hundred volunteer lawyers and modest full-time staff of legal specialists to sustain both the demands for their expert services and the academic study and elaboration of new concepts for refining and advancing environmental law.
		After eight years of study, experimentation with capacity building programs, and dialogue with university faculties of law on a world-wide basis, the Commission announced at the 50th Anniversary of IUCN in 1998 that it was undertaking to establish an international Academy of Environmental Law.
		The Second Colloquium of the IUCN Academy on 'Land Use and Environmental Law' was held at the University of Nairobi from 4-7 October, followed by a meeting of the Academy Collegium on 8 October and a research workshop on 9 October.

	The Best and the Brightest?: Canadian Law School Admissions
		Note 24: According to Arthur Braid and Cameron Harvey of the University of Manitoba Faculty of Law, the University of Manitoba was the first law school in Canada to include the LSAT score in their admissions criteria in 1968: interview with A. Braid and C. Harvey (2 October 1998).
		She argues that law teachers fail to appreciate theories about teaching and learning (such as basic learning theory, adult education theory, skills theory, problem-based approaches, and self-learning approaches), that assessment methods fail to test skills students have been taught, and that the case method prevails out of convention rather than demonstrated pedagogical utility.
		Given that only two law schools in Canada have ever conducted empirical studies to determine the efficacy of their admission policies, it is time for Canadian law schools to think seriously about admissions as they attempt to select the "best and the brightest" for the twenty-first century.

	The Philosophical Gourmet Report 2004 - 2006 :: The Study of Philosophy in Law Schools and Top Law Schools (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		There is a large legal literature on the philosophical foundations of criminal law (addressing, for example, issues about free will and moral responsibility, and the justification of punishment); and more recently, there has been a growing interest in law schools in philosophy of language, metaethics and Continental philosophy.
		Nonetheless, there is a reasonable correlation between prestige of the law school and intellectual caliber of the faculty, but philosophy majors have repeatedly told me about their surprise and disappointment at some of what goes on in the classroom at leading law schools.
		In Canada, the top choices are clearly the law schools at York University, Toronto (Osgoode Hall) and University of Toronto, which are also the top two law faculties in the country.
