Getting to Maybe
On October 23, Dean Jeremy Paul and Professor Michael Fischl, co-authors of Getting to Maybe: How to Succeed on Law School Exams, will be giving an exam-taking workshop at the 2010 Northeast BLSA Academic Retreat at Harvard Law School.
Professor Fischl's teaching and research interests focus on labor and employment law, legal theory, and legal education, and his work has appeared in Columbia Law Review, Law & Social Inquiry, and numerous other law journals. He is co-editor (with Joanne Conaghan and Karl Klare) of Labor Law in an Era of Globalization: Transformative Practices and Possibilities (Oxford 2002); and co-chair of Intell, an international network of progressive scholars and practitioners in the labor and employment law field. In 2006, he was the recipient of the Golden Apple award for outstanding teaching and service at the University of Miami where he served on the law faculty for 23 years.
Dean Paul's writings have appeared in the Texas Law Review, the Michigan Law Review, the University of Southern California Law Review, and the Washington Monthly in addition to a widely used introduction to legal reasoning entitled "A Bedtime Story" (74 Virginia Law Review 915, 1988). Dean Paul serves on the Board of Directors of the Connecticut Bar Foundation and the Advisory Board of the Connecticut Law Tribune, and is a former Board Member of the Connecticut Civil Liberties Union.
