A bit over six months ago I announced a sabbatical. After 40-plus years laboring in the legal vineyards I needed to step back, recharge my batteries and focus on the next chapter. Actually, it wasn’t really 40 years, because once before, after about 20 years in law and lawyering, I took some time and wound up teaching at UConn Law School for a few years. Well, guess where I’m headed again this fall?

When I mention to colleagues that I have taught at all three of Connecticut’s law schools (both full time and part time) for about two decades, I steady myself for the expected (and pretty universal) response: “Law school? Let me tell you what is wrong with legal education today!” I never realized how many folks thought and think the Socratic method a bore (or a mean-spirited torture) and yearned for a different experience than the one they got when they were in school.
