Why Judge? A Conversation about Jurisprudence with William J. Bennett Conducted by William L. Bennett.
Bennett, William J.; Bennett, William L.
This document, one of a series on questions regarding humanistic education, contains a transcribed conversation about jurisprudence between William J. Bennett, a professor of the philosophy of law at Boston University, and William L. Bennett, a teacher of humanities and English at Browne & Nichols School. The conversation deals with ways in which law pervades everyday lives, the necessity for the proper study of law in schools and colleges, and attempts of over 100 state and local bar associations to see that an understanding of law, the legal process, and the legal system becomes a part of the curriculum. Both speakers maintain that the case method developed in law school is the most useful approach to law-related subjects because most legal cases involve "little" people, whose lives and problems quite closely resemble those of the students who will study them. A bibliographical note on case law materials to be used by teachers for introducing students to law is included. (Author/DB)
