Description
Our guest for this episode is Howard Katz, who is Cleveland-Marshall College of Law's first Legal Educator-in-Residence, a position in which he advises the Dean, faculty, and staff on best practices in admissions, academic support, bar passage, curriculum, and pedagogy; he was also a former visiting professor at Cleveland-Marshall for several years. Professor Katz has served in a variety of academic and administrative leadership positions at a number of law schools, including the law schools at Duquesne University and Elon University. Professor Katz co-authored (with Kevin Francis O’Neill) Strategies and Techniques of Law School Teaching, which formed the foundation for a series of subject-matter teaching advice for law professors. He regularly participates in the annual Leading Edge conference convened by Wolters Kluwer and serves as a member of the executive committee of the New Teachers section of the AALS. Professor Katz discusses the resources available for new law teachers and includes advice for them in developing a strategy that demonstrates care for students while also effectively teaching the material. He is passionate about helping new professors, and improving the curriculum and the law school experience through enrichment of early skills and technology teaching, and improved student advising. Professor Katz opines about the future of legal education and the profession, and the need to narrow the gap of available legal services between those who can afford them, and those who cannot.
