"Holmes law school function"(The Use of Law Schools)

   The best part of education is moral education, mainly lies in shaping people's interests and goals. The law school is a great way to teach law, and cultivate a great lawyer. The author discussed from the following points:

   One, such as the education is needed

  Our passion for equality has already transcended political field and social field, but democracy negative feelings from the external differentiated abolished extends to spiritual matters is not only wrong, but also is a kind of common errors. Humility and respect and never arrogant or bow and scrape the Democratic sentiment is as free people of virtue, noble sentiment base excess is necessary to correct.

   Subject two, education

   A team composed of experts and a small army than any teachers more power and persuasion. They make people aware of rash and courageously than silent genius and calm control, learn to obey and respect; they in intellectual circles created a Democratic Union and discipline of the perfect type; they do not establish the authority of the people bow and scrape to rely on foreign aid; they argue that science must be always ready to prove himself in the Challenger before they respect. Each time to create the best works of people should be the teacher. Teaching should not stop writing, and should encourage the creation of.

   The experts in the army, the lawyer is not a corps of the least important. They are experts, one of the expert group is also America need most is the first. But lawyers have to enhance the USA language and ideals in the most hated "smart" (smartness) as a lot of effort, but ignored the dignity and moral sense of the profound knowledge.

   Three, the law school's goal

   Law school should be the goal to make people become wise -- let them go on a path to the master of the road in their occupation, rather than make them smarter.

   The two change four, teaching method

   1, legal history will be gradually into the realm of science. The fact is the depth and breadth and extremely subtle extremely broad vision examination. At the same time, we recover the influence on philosophy in the study interest, thousands of people are on the analysis and summary of the rule of law and the basis of existence.

   2, the textbooks in teaching is gradually being replaced case set. Application of case based on the theory of Mr. Randall said: the number of legal principles is very small, so they can make it to those case development and established to teach. The personal experience that case teaching the importance and validity.

   Based on these two teaching methods, law school professors take the student to the lowest point of the law, so that they master as the operation system of common law and equity, and tried to make them understand the law. In addition to teaching law, the expert law school training should also have the training, they should know, show common, have passion, have a rational passion for knowledge.
