About the Context and Practice Series Series
Professor Michael Hunter Schwartz, a nationally known teaching and learning scholar, designed the CAP Series to make it easy for professors to implement the ideas from the Carnegie Report and Best Practices. In fact, he is a named contributing member of the Committee that published Best Practices for Legal Education. A few principles are core ones in the series' vision. Among these are to set high expectations, "engage the students in active learning," "give regular and prompt feedback," "help students improve their self-directed learning skills," "employ multiple methods of instruction," and, in particular, "use context-based instruction." Educating Lawyers argues that law professors need to do a better job helping students build practice skills and develop their professional identities.
