Law School: Reinventing the Multi-Series School

By Maria Isabel Antunes-Rocha

A Must-Read for Law Students, Educators, and Legal Professionals

In her groundbreaking book, Law School: Reinventing the Multi-Series School, Maria Isabel Antunes-Rocha offers a comprehensive and thought-provoking examination of the current state of legal education. Drawing on her extensive experience as a law professor and administrator, Antunes-Rocha argues that the traditional law school model is no longer adequate to prepare students for the challenges of the 21st century legal profession.

A Call for Reform

Antunes-Rocha begins by outlining the many problems with the current law school system. She argues that the traditional law school curriculum is too narrow and focused on theory, failing to provide students with the practical skills they need to succeed in the real world. She also criticizes the high cost of law school, which makes it increasingly difficult for students from all socioeconomic backgrounds to pursue a legal education.

A New Model for Legal Education

In response to these challenges, Antunes-Rocha proposes a new model for legal education that she calls the "multi-series school." The multi-series school would offer a more flexible and individualized curriculum, allowing students to tailor their education to their specific interests and goals. It would also place a greater emphasis on practical training, experiential learning, and interdisciplinary studies.

The Benefits of the Multi-Series School

Antunes-Rocha argues that the multi-series school would offer a number of benefits over the traditional law school model. These benefits include:

• Increased flexibility and customization: The multi-series school would allow students to choose from a wider range of courses and programs, and to design their own individualized curriculum.
• Enhanced practical training: The multi-series school would provide students with more opportunities to gain practical experience through externships, clinics, and other experiential learning opportunities.
• Greater interdisciplinary studies: The multi-series school would encourage students to study a wider range of subjects outside of the law, such as business, economics, and public policy.
• Improved affordability: The multi-series school would be more affordable than the traditional law school model, making it possible for more students to pursue a legal education.

A Vision for the Future of Legal Education

Law School: Reinventing the Multi-Series School is a powerful and persuasive call for reform in legal education. Antunes-Rocha's vision for the multi-series school offers a way to address the many challenges facing legal education today and to prepare students for the demands of the 21st century legal profession.
