How should law professors teach cases and topics (such as   “fedupskif”

sexual harassment law) that involve “graphic” descriptions of

a sexual, violent or profane nature?  Prof. Wenger raised the

subject at Concurring Opinions, and the topic has been taken

up at Workplace Prof Blog by Paul Secunda.  There are quite

a few lengthy comments at each weblog.  I’m in the camp of

those who believe that law students are adults and should be

expected to both handle the subject matter and take it seriously

(that means cool it with the sophomoric remarks, gentlemen). 

Although professors might want to give a low-key warning about

particularly hard-hitting matierials, they should not be watering-

down or cleaning up their pedagogy in order to spare the feelings

of the most sensitive, fragile, or easily-offended students.

EsqChecker: show your commitment to legal ethics

Filed under: pre-06-2006 — David Giacalone @ 11:47 am

We had forgotten all about ethicalEsq‘s EsqChecker project

(an “ethics certification” — seal of approval — program), until

last night, while looking for our founding editor’s valedictory post.

In the process, we located Professor Yabut‘s brief self-introduction as

the new editor, along with his scandalized account of the EsqChecker

program. [see ethicalEsq Sells Out, April 1, 2004]  Go here for our

amended reprise.
