Rezensionen

'Teaching Law: Justice, Politics, and the Demands of Professionalism is a significant contribution to the current discussion, and it belongs in the collections of academic law libraries ... This book is a plea that law school administrators and faculty 'not let this current moment of crisis go to waste'. That plea deserves a hearing and a spirited response.' David W. Bachman, Law Library Journal
