| Summary/Abstract |
At a time when a single semester of law school can be a significant financial investment, the decision to attend law school should not be made casually. Instead, decisions should be influenced by data, reflection, and an understanding of real-world outcomes. In this article, I present The Legal Career Compatibility Project; a tool to help students make an informed decision about pursuing a career in law. Using Bolles (2003), Phases 1 and 2 help prospective law students determine whether they should pursue a legal career. Phase 3 helps students determine where and how to apply to law school. Considering that the odds of gaining admission to law school are high, conversations about whether one should attend law school are equally, if not more, important than conversations about how to gain admission. The purpose of the project is to influence how decisions to attend law school are made, not to encourage or discourage students from a career in law.

| Summary/Abstract |
As the world has grown more interconnected, many political science programs have added courses on international law, international organizations, the laws of war and peace, international human rights, and comparative judicial politics. While in many cases these are relatively new offerings within international studies, all of these subjects have long been part of the law school curriculum. There is, therefore, a long pedagogical history to be examined in terms of the techniques and content used in law schools to teach these courses. This paper examines a number of these techniques and discusses how they may be used in political science courses to enhance student learning opportunities.

| Summary/Abstract |
Civil legal services in the United States are increasingly unaffordable and inaccessible. Although the causes are complex, law schools can help in three ways beyond simply offering free legal clinics staffed by lawyers and students. Law schools can teach the next generation of lawyers more efficient and less expensive ways to deliver legal services, ensure that educational debt does not preclude lawyers from serving people of modest means, and conduct and disseminate research on alternative models for delivering legal services. These strategies will not solve all of the problems that exist, but they hold the promise of meaningfully improving the affordability and accessibility of civil legal services.
