Abstract
For more than a decade, educators and scholars have been calling for changes in methods of instruction, especially in higher education, based on developments in the field of learning science. This has been true for legal education as well, but additionally based on fundamental shifts in the way legal employers, especially law firms, hire and train new lawyers? These suggested changes for legal education include more emphasis on professional skills training, leadership development, and teamwork. While there has been no dearth of writing about the need for change in legal education, and even about specific outcomes or goals for legal education, there has been comparatively much less writing about how specific methods of instruction should be modified to achieve these new outcomes. This essay outlines in some detail how use of a particular simulation approach to a traditional law school class, administrative law, can serve to meet the new demands on legal education going forward.
