Book Review:
J. Chrys Dougherty, In Defense of Humanistic Legal Education (reviewing Francis A. Allen’s Law, Intellect, and Education) 58 TEXAS L. REV. 861 (1980).
 

Abstract:
Allen’s book contains a number of essays reflecting on the role of the law school in light of the social movements of the 1960s and 1970s. In particular, Allen emphasizes the ongoing importance of the life of the mind and the dangers (for both students and professors) of being distracted by a single-minded focus on effecting social and political change. Dougherty praises Allen’s book, but suggests that it might usefully outline a larger role for law professors in molding student attitudes towards the ideals and traditions of the legal profession.
