- Synopsis
- The Socratic method of teaching is one factor contributing to the lack of success of women in law school, according to a study by Guinier with coauthors Michelle Fine and Jane Balin at the University of Pennsylvania Law School. Guinier, the assistant attorney general for civil rights- designate in 1993, writes eloquently of law school as "a gendered academic experience" that makes "gentlemen" out of both male and female law students, and she uses self-reported accounts of students to suggest alternatives to the status quo in legal education.
