Advocacy
Methods of Instruction
The majority of Baylor Law School faculty members employ the case method, particularly in the first three quarters. The traditional method of law study involves a thorough analysis of assigned cases and the rules and principles of law deduced from the cases. Through this approach, the student develops an ability to recognize, analyze critically, and evaluate legal issues and positions while learning basic rules and principles of law. Classroom discussion is encouraged, and related statutory and non-legal material is correlated with the cases studied. Other methods of instruction are used where appropriate to the subject matter of the course. In certain courses, for example, students are given assignments which resemble the types of problems a practicing attorney encounters in daily practice.
