Intersentia has published Aalt Willem
Heringa, Legal Education: Reflections and
Recommendations (2013):
This book
on legal education was written based upon many of the author’s experiences as a
professor and dean. The author noted that there is relatively little literature
and research about legal education and felt it was necessary to discuss the
present state of legal education. The book focuses on many issues such as
teaching itself, employability, the mission and focus of law schools, the
future of law schools in this age of internationalisation, student intake, the
link with the labour markets, as well as many other issues. One of the
conclusions drawn is that law schools will have to seek their own position and
niche and that they will have different roles. This book also focuses on the
need for law school deans and leaders to set clear mission statements and
strategies and work towards education that provides all the necessary skills
and knowledge that students can take with them into their future careers. No
teaching as we did for many years, but analysing what lies ahead and what is
needed for future careers.
