Reviews

Even those who disagree with Brian Z. Tamanaha and challenge his analyses will be participating in a conversation shaped by his contentions. Failing Law Schools presents a comprehensive case for the negative side of the legal education debate and I am sure that many legal academics and every law school dean will be talking about it. --Stanley Fish, Florida International University College of Law (03/01/2012)

Failing Law Schools is destined to have an enormous impact on the future of legal education. ... [T]his will turn out to be the definitive account of just how out-of-balance the existing model of legal education has become. <br><br><br><br> <br><br>--William Henderson, Indiana University Maurer School of Law

Legal education is a broken, failed, even corrupt enterprise. It exalts and enriches law professors at the expense of lawyers, the legal profession, and most of all the students whose tuition dollars finance the entire scheme. With hard numbers and piercing insights, Brian Z. Tamanaha tells the disturbing, scandalous truth. His book is essential reading for anyone who is even contemplating law school, much less committing to a career in law teaching. With any luck, his book will inspire law professors and law school deans who have no other career options to subject themselves to the deepest levels of ethical introspection, the better to lead legal education back into the service of its true stakeholders. <br>--James Chen, dean, University of Louisville
